The Law is Louisiana is based on the Napoleonic Code
The key differences between the Napoleonic Code and Common Law legal systems are in their origins and principles. The Napoleonic Code is based on a comprehensive set of laws created by Napoleon Bonaparte in the early 19th century, emphasizing clarity and consistency in legal rules. Common Law, on the other hand, is based on judicial decisions and precedents, with a focus on flexibility and evolving interpretations of the law. Additionally, the Napoleonic Code is more centralized and codified, while Common Law is decentralized and relies on case law.
