NOTICE: Licari on Gény in Louisiana

One of our members, François-Xavier Licari (Metz) has posted a paper (in French) on SSRN. The paper is entitled 'François Gény En Louisiane (François Gény in Louisiana)':

In his book "François Gény and Modern Jurisprudence", Jaro Mayda wrote (p.69) : "The important point…is that, despite the art represented by the current literature, the pragmatic temper of America and of its mixed jurisdictions, such as Louisiana, may well be the environment that will send Gény’s themes toward their integration into a rational, modern jurisprudence". This paper tells the story of the realization of this scholarly prophesy.
