""The Civil Law As Transplanted In Louisiana"" is a paper written by Thomas Jenkins Semmes and presented before the American Bar Association in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1883. The book provides a thorough examination of the civil law system as it was transplanted to Louisiana, which is the only state in the United States that uses this system. Semmes explores the origins and development of the civil law system, its key features and principles, and how it differs from the common law system used in most other states. He also discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by the civil law system, and how it has influenced the legal landscape in Louisiana. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the legal system in the United States, as well as those who are studying or practicing law in Louisiana.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
