This new Precis replaces the previous Louisiana Law of Conventional Obligations. With a sharpened focus and clear, concise language, Louisiana Law of Contracts and Quasi-Contracts makes the law and doctrine surrounding this complex legal concept easily accessible to legal practitioners and students alike. The reader is introduced to the civil law methodology through a straightforward analysis by preeminent legal scholars in the civil law, with illustrative examples that clarify both how the law works in a practical way, and why.

Features include a new section covering the area of quasi-contracts; appendices with all the pertinent articles from the Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure; and an appendix of illustrative cases for each chapter covered.
