Synopsis
The Code Of Practice Of The State Of Louisiana. This work is a legal reference outlining the civil procedure rules of the State of Louisiana as enacted and amended in the 19th century. It compiles the Code’s provisions on civil actions, the general division of actions (personal, real, mixed), and the distinction between civil and criminal actions. It details the mode of bringing civil suits, the requirements for petitions and citations, the rights of plaintiffs and defendants, and the role of judges, juries, and various officers. The volume covers the rules governing jurisdiction, proper venue, service of process, and procedures before courts of original jurisdiction, probate courts, justices of the peace, and the Supreme Court. It also provides sections on pleadings, exceptions, interrogatories, interventions, warrants, attachments, sequestration, provisional seizures, injunctions, and the execution of judgments, including remedies such as writs of fieri facias, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto. A general index and table of contents aid navigation through this extensive legal framework.
