And it makes our system of law different from the rest of the USA.
We also have inmates at Angola being target practice for the bulls at the rodeo and make inmates actually do hard labor instead of sitting on their asses all day.

We do not have the "napoleonic code" we have a civil code that is based off of French and Spanish law. There's a difference.

Despite popular belief (and Stanley Kowalski's brief explanation in the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire) it's incorrect to say that the Louisiana Civil Code is, or stems from, the Napoleonic Code; rather, the two law codes stem from common sources. Although the developing Napoleonic Code strongly influenced Louisiana law, it was not enacted until 1804, one year after the Louisiana Purchase. The main source of Louisiana jurisprudence may in fact be Spanish.[2][3] Currently, the Louisiana Civil Code consists of 3,556 individual code articles.[4]
