From Chaos to Continuity: The Evolution of Louisiana's Judicial System, 1712--1862
ISBN: 9780807156858 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Others embrace this tradition and revel in the minutiae of the Pelican State's unique civil law legacy. In From Chaos to Continuity, Mark F. Fernandez challenges both perspectives. Using the innovative methods of the New Louisiana Legal History, he offers the first...
