The Creation Of Immovable Real Rights By Testament In Kosovo: A Comparative Approach, Bedri Bahtiri, Kastriote Vlahna
Journal of Civil Law Studies
The establishment of real rights over immovable property constitutes a central issue in contemporary civil law. This paper investigates whether a testament (testamentum) may function not merely as an instrument for the mortis causa transfer of existing real rights but also as a juridical title (titulus iuris) capable of constituting new real rights (constitutio iuris). The analysis emphasizes the doctrinal distinction between the transfer of ownership (translatio dominii) and the creation of rights (constitutio iuris) within the legal framework of Kosovo, further examined through a comparative lens with the German Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) and the French Code Civil.

Collaboration, Coopération Et Intérêt Commun : La Fluidité De L’Exigence De Bonne Foi En Droit Égyptien Et Français Des Contrats, Rana Mohammad Safi
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Le contrat, étant la source d’obligation primordiale dans la société, a connu une évolution remarquable depuis le XIXe siècle. Créant des obligations réciproques, le contrat peut être perçu sous un prisme antagoniste, chaque contractant veillant à ses propres intérêts avant les intérêts du cocontractant. Cependant, le droit des obligations connut une émergence des devoirs contractuels, notamment avec l’introduction de la bonne foi, renforcée au cours du temps pour inclure, en plus de l’honnêteté, les devoirs d’information, de loyauté et de coopération. Certains ont même considéré que cette évolution a conduit à une « crise du contrat » affaiblissant le fondement …

Revisiting The Genesis Of French Louisiana: It’S No Coincidence The Civil Code Was Adopted—We Ain’T Anglos!, Warren Perrin
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This article examines how Louisiana’s distinctive civil law tradition survived the Louisiana Purchase and became embedded in the state’s identity through the interaction of culture, migration, and political compromise. Tracing the development of French Louisiana from the Acadian diaspora to statehood, the article argues that the adoption and preservation of the civil code was not accidental, but rather the product of a deeply rooted Francophone and multicultural society resistant to Anglo-American common law traditions. The study highlights the influence of major historical figures including Thomas Jefferson, William C.C. Claiborne, Julien Poydras, Casa Calvo, and Edward Livingston, while also emphasizing the …

La Place De La Loi Dans Le Code Civil De 1804 : Regard Rétrospectif, Mustapha Mekki
Journal of Civil Law Studies
La loi était conçue en 1804 comme le modèle normatif. Elle était la reine des sources et remplissait une noble fonction pédagogique et morale. Ce constat pouvait être fait également du code civil louisianais. Avec le temps, la concurrence entre les sources, le pluralisme juridique, la globalisation, le dogme de l’efficacité, ont-ils eu raison de cette fonction modèle attribuée à la loi au début du 19e siècle ? Cette étude s’efforce d’exposer cette loi mise à l’épreuve et de présenter ce qu’il reste de ce modèle normatif dans notre paysage juridique.

Civil Code Reforms And Sources Of Law: The French And Quebec Experience Compared, Pascale Deumier, Mathieu Devinat
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Can civil codes be reformed “like any other piece of legislation?” A comparison of the French and Quebec experiences illustrates the methodological challenges that arose from civil code reform projects for the Civil Code of Québec during the last two Centuries. It also reveals the complex relationship that jurists have with “their” own civil code, in a civil law context.

The Civil Law English Terminology (Civlet), A Louisiana Gift To The World, Olivier Moreteau
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In the early 19th century, Louisiana codified its civil law in French and in English. In the 20th century, it translated French civilian doctrine and then produced its own civilian literature in English. Over time, lawmakers and translators have crafted and refined new English legal terminology suited to expressing civilian concepts, thereby setting aside common law terminology. Quebec joined the process once Canada imposed bilingualism, while other English-speaking mixed jurisdictions also contributed. This article shows how, outside the common law English terminology (COMLET), a civil law English terminology (CIVLET) is developing, and is also enriched by a comparative law English …

Jurisprudential Approach To The Concept Of Intent In Greek Law 3869/2010 (Personal Bankruptcy) With Comparative Perspectives, Andreas-Nikolaos Koukoulis
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Under Law 3869/2010 in Greece, fraud plays a central role in determining eligibility for debt relief. The law aims to protect individuals from banking practices that have led them to over-indebtedness, except for those who know they cannot or do not wish to repay their debts. Fraud is defined as a subjective element that must be proven by the creditor, highlighting behaviors such as willful avoidance of payments despite having the means to do so. The evaluation of the debtor's actions is examined for intent, particularly considering factors such as the debtor's lack of experience or understanding. Greek courts emphasize …

Variations On Property And Power: Corporations, Absolute Dominium, And Partus Sequitur Ventrem In The 1825 Louisiana Civil Code, John A. Lovett
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Over the past year, the Louisiana legal community has celebrated the bicentennial of the 1825 Louisiana Civil Code with enthusiasm, observing its solidification of the civil law tradition in Louisiana and documenting its importance in the spread of civil law throughout the Americas. This Article focuses on three areas of the 1825 Civil Code that have generally not attracted significant scholarly attention in Louisiana but that have important socio-legal significance.
First, the Article addresses twenty articles appearing toward the end of Book I of the Civil Code that allow, define, and regulate corporations. Even though private corporations were still rare …

The Rise Of Options Contracts In Sports, The Post-Murphy Regulatory Conundrum, And Implications On Federalism, Scott Barboza
UNH Sports Law Review
The Supreme Court’s decision in Murphy v. N.C.A.A. dismantled the federal prohibition on state-authorized sports betting and returned its primary regulatory authority over to the states. Following Murphy, states adopted widely varying sports-betting regimes. At the same time, advances in financial technology and the growing popularity of prediction markets created a new form of event-based speculation operating outside the traditional sportsbook model. Platforms such as Kalshi began offering “yes-no” contracts tied to sporting outcomes through federally regulated exchanges overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, framing such products not as wagers, but as financial derivatives governed by the Commodity Exchange …
