143. One of the things that makes Louisiana
unique among the other states is our legal system, and our guest
this week, Vernon Palmer, is an expert on that system. In part
1, we discuss the Code Noir; in part 2, the Code
Napoléon. For more information, check out his book Through
the Codes Darkly: Slave Law and Civil Law in Louisiana.Vernon
is the Thomas Pickles Professor of Law at Tulane University Law
School and the co-director of its Eason Weinmann Center of
Comparative Law. Palmer received in 2012 the degree of Docteur
Honoris Causa by Paris-Dauphine University and received
both the Palmes Académiques and, in 2006, the Legion
of Honor from the French government. Palmer was born in
New Orleans, Louisiana, and attended New Orleans Academy, Newman
High School and graduated from Jesuit High School in 1958.
He is a graduate of Tulane University (B.A. 1962, LL.B. 1965
with Law Review Honors) and Yale Law School (LL.M. 1966), where
he received a Sterling Fellowship. Palmer graduated from
Pembroke College, Oxford University in 1985, where he received
his Doctorate of Philosophy.
