No Trespassing: The Legal Origins Of Louisiana’S Water Access Dispute, Karly Kyzar Dorr

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Restating The Civil Law Of Quasi-Contract: Negotiorum Gestio And Unjust Enrichment, Nikolaos A. Davrados

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This Article restates the Louisiana civil law of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment, one decade after the common-law Third Restatement of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment.
