Civil Law Rests Upon the
Old Roman Civil Law
Married Women Can Not
Borrow Money = Freak
Legislation.
(By Frederic .. Haskin).

4 OU1SIANA is the only state in the
union which has a system of law
exclusively its own. In all the
other states the Jurisprudence is based
upon the common law, which is their
equal heritage from the English found
ers Of the republic.
Inc civil law, which prevails in
Louisiana, is based upon the code Ma
poleon, and that in turn rests upon the
old Roman civil law. AS both the COM
mon and the civil law have the same
object-the safeguarding of individual
right and liberty-there is not at bot
tom so much difference between the
Two systems as might seem at first
glance The divergences~ are largely
matters Of procedure-of the methods
by which suits may be instituted and
conducted.
For example, in the United States
courts, and in the courts of practically
all the other states, there is a law side
and an equity side, and the two may
not be COMPOUNDED. In the Louisiana
courts there is no equity SIDE but the
law and equity may be passed upon in
the same proceeding by the same judge.
Laws Estates.
The Louisiana law DIVORCES most
widely from the common law in all
that relates to the family. In the COM
mon law the emphasis falls upon the
man as an individual; in the Louisiana
code, as in the French law, he is viewed
essentially as member of the family
Hence, in Louisiana there exists the
curious statutes by which the right of
a testator to dispose of his property
is restricted to certain fixed proper
tons
Under these ordinances a man dying
without children, but leaving a father
or a mother, or both, must leave one
quarter of his estate to them. If. at his
death, he leaves children, the parents
are eliminated as forced heirs and the
children take their place; in which case.
il the tsetator has only one child, he
must devise to that child at least one
third of his estate; if he has two chill
dren. he must leave them at least one
half; while If he has three or more, be
cannot give them in his will less than
twothirds Of his property.
Women Cannot Borrow.
Under the Louisiana law a minor
marrying without the consent of his
parents may be disinherited. ChatteI
mortgage, which is d matter of con-
siderable prominence in the common
law, is unknown in Louisiana. Prior
to 1908. when the state legislature
amended the code, women could not
4SSdlIN De witnesses 10 Will In gen
eral, the Louisiana code, in all its pro-
visions respecting women, is remark
ably solicitous to protect them even
from their own weakness.
For example, there are stringent pro-
hlbltiOnS against a married woman Dor
rowing money with which to pay her
husbands debts. a married woman
may not, in fact, borrow money or
ALLEVIATE her property at all except with
the consent of her husband or a Judge.
or, in some instances, with the approval
of both.

In addition to the customs" num-

Louisiana. Of these the most interest
ing was the BLACK code" first pro-
muIgated in 1855. for the government
Of slaves All of these laws remained
in force in Louisiana down to 1853,
when the province passed into the
hands Of Spain
In that year Don Alexandra OReilly,
the new Spanish governor. made ex-
tensfve changes, not only in the law,
but. in the entire machinery OF gov
eminent He abolished the superior
council, which had been the legislative
body of the province since 1712, and
substituted the cabildo, a somewhat
similar organization, with rather more
extensive judicial powers
O'ReiIIy also caused a series OF new
laws to be prepared, chiefly relating to
the institution of suits and the method
OF procedure before the courts in civil
and criminal actions. These were
taken from the laws of Castillo and the
laws of the Indies, which, in their turn,
were based upon the old Spanish fue-
ros, dating back to the 18th century,
upon the partidas Of Alfonso the Wise
and upon the ''recopulaciones' OF the
18th century.
O'ReilIy intended this compilation to
serve for the instruction of his judges
only until they had acquired some ia
miliarity with the Spanish law. which
was, of course. put into effect as soon
as practicable. As the Spanish law was
based, like the French, upon the old
Roman civil code, they We're similar.
