381.Vernon Palmer, part 1

381. Part 1 of Vernon Palmer's return to the Louisiana Anthology Podcast. We discuss lawyer and judge James Workman, who wrote the play Liberty in Louisiana. We also talk about how Louisiana moved from Spanish law to American law, with the Napoleonic Code thrown in.

Vernon specializes in comparative law and European and French civil law, has been teaching and researching for 46 years, including extensive work abroad in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and Africa. In recognition of his contributions to the field of comparative law, Paris-Dauphine University conferred upon him the title Docteur Honoris Causa in 2012. In 2006, then-French President Jacques Chirac knighted Palmer as a “chevalier” in the French Legion of Honor, the country’s highest civilian award, recognizing his work to build stronger ties between the United States and France.
