This work invites readers in law, as well as those in political science, international relations, and similar disciplines to witness the fast growing emergence of a "new legal order": the law of the European Union (EU) and European Communities. Ever since its early founding through daring steps in the 1950s, Community law has gone through formidable and complex developments resulting from several enlargements and the expansion of the powers of the Communities. For reasons laid out in this book, the EU as a whole is now a field of major interest and study. This volume deals mostly with issues pertaining to the sovereignty of the member states engaged in the construction of Europe. After presenting a history of the Communities and EU, Levasseur and Scott address topics such as the EU's constitutional principles, its institutions, the sources of law, the legal remedies available, and the relationship between Community law and national legal orders. Comparative law references have been added where appropriate. In addition, this work examines the EU's defense policies and the special relations between the EU and the USA.

The purposes of this 2017 edition of the Pocket Civil Code of Louisiana are the same as those of the previous yearly editions but also meant to acquaint the reader with the knowledge of new books or materials helpful in better understanding the essence of a codified law. As all prior editions, the 2017 edition of the Pocket Civil Code is meant to be a user-friendly tool small by its size and accessible by its bare bone presentation of the Code articles. It is easy to handle, simple to read because one is not distracted by references to cases which tend to be the main focus of attention of lawyers. Thus this presentation is aimed mostly at emphasizing the ranking of legislation as the imperative and primary source of law in the Louisiana civil law tradition as stated in articles 1 and 2 of the Civil Code. Furthermore, the recent publication of two books will help the reader to go deeper into grasping the purpose of codification and the full meaning of Code articles be they from Louisiana, French, Quebec, Italian...Civil Codes. In this respect we recommend a Carolina Academic Press publication: Deciphering a Civil Code and the Dictionary of the Civil Code by LexisNexis.

Extensive excerpts of foreign doctrine have been translated for the benefit of the readers. Cross references to common law legal scholarship, English and American, have been added for a more instructive and complete comparative analysis.
