Louisiana Law of Sale and Lease is a concise yet thorough casebook for students of Louisiana's Civil law whose authors have taught the subject for many years. By using a direct and straightforward approach, it will help students understand the articles of the Civil Code that govern sale and lease and the judicial decisions that interpret and apply them.
