The aim of Benedikt Lüthge's essay is to
analyze the law of agency in the state of Louisiana and compare it
to its German equivalent.
In contrast to other states in the United States, which have
primarily common law systems, Louisiana has a legal system marked
by extensive codifications. As a result, Louisiana can be
considered a "mixed jurisdiction": a hybrid where
codified civil law and common law have merged. Because of this rare
and specific characteristic and including the fact that the
"old" European law has been confounded with
"new" Anglo-American law, the Louisiana legal system
lends itself to a comparative law analysis. The essay was published
in Cardozo Journal if International and Comparative Law (CJICL),
Vol. 21 (2013), p. 697-727.
