Items related to Sales and Lease in the Louisiana Jurisprudence
The content of this volume are arranged in a manner similar to the pattern in which materials are compiled in a traditional American casebook, which may suggest that the book is intended for teaching and learning the Louisiana law of sale and lease with the case-method. That, however, is not so. This new edition is another effort in an ambitious project of preparing an effective class instrument for the presentation of a civil law subject in its theory and practice, a purpose that requires the use of judicial decisions and fragments of scholarly writings collected in this coursebook as illustration only of the interpretation of, and commentary on, the articles of the civil code to which they are carefully referred. This volume, thus, merely accompanies Book III, Titles VII and IX of the Louisiana Civil Code.
The Louisiana law of sale was subject to an extensive revision effective since January 1, 1995, which made indispensable a revision of this coursebook, the first edition of which appeared in 1978, the second in 1983, and the third in 1986. In the light of that revision of the law of sale it might be worthwhile to view the contents of this volume as an aid in the process of determining that which has been preserved and that which has been changed. For that purpose, the earlier articles on sale which comprised Title VII of Book III of the Louisiana Civil Code of 1870 have been transcribed in Appendix A of this volume.
