The Napoleonic Code

These laws were to reform France after the French Revolution, and some quirks made them almost contradictory in parts. For example, one aspect encourages the rule of law. However, the code prohibited judges from refusing justice because of the law’s insufficiency, enabling them to interpret it (social justice?). On the other hand, it prohibited judges from general judgments of a legislative value(anti-social justice?).

Contrary to the belief of some, Louisiana is more influenced by Spanish law with a dose of French law, but not really from the Napoleonic Code.
