Early Louisiana and Her Spanish World:
Legal Tradition, Laws and Customs
in Luisiana and the Floridas

Supported by the Tulane University School
of Law and The Portalis Society, the conference brings together
historians and legal historians to discuss the laws, customs, and institutions
of Spanish Louisiana and the Floridas. The scope is intentionally broad and
covers almost anything linked to law and culture (doctrine, personalities,
property, politics, extra-legal norms, etc).
