That there is legislation in every state and codes in Texas (and most other states) should blow nobody's mind.
Nor is the reliance on jurisprudence as the source of common law.
This isn't exactly a secret...

Right. So there’s no practical difference. All or most states have codes. Just like Louisiana. Louisiana courts apply case law. Just like all other states. That the basis of a negligence claim is a code article in Louisiana but a case in Texas makes absolutely no real world difference.

The walls that distinguish the systems effectively no longer exist in actual practice. All 50 states have, at the minimum, adopted the UCC (they all have various sorts of other codes). That makes them all civil. Louisiana relies on jurisprudential precedent and not codal interpretation. In an actual civil system, a body like the LASC would be a mere suggestion, with no real binding power over any future case over a similar issue. In the actual legal system of Louisiana today, an LASC ruling gives precedent for all future cases over that issue across the entire state. All 50 states are hybrids of codal (civil law) and jurisprudential (Common law) systems.

I upvoted this bc it’s correct. The LSU law professors wouldn’t like this reality, but it’s reality nonetheless.
