For the fifth consecutive year, the Center of Civil Law Studies is hosting three interns from the Université de Nantes Master in Trilingual Legal Studies, as part of the Training Multilingual Jurists Program, sponsored by the Partner University Fund.
Sarah Charlat, Delphine Drouard, and Sara Vono arrived in late March for a three month internship. They have already translated several dozen Louisiana Civil Code articles from English in to French, dealing with emancipation, interdiction, usufruct, and now successions.
On Friday, April 24, Prof. Olivier Moréteau took them to New Orleans for a tour of the Louisiana Supreme Court. Audrey Michenaud, an exchange student from Université de Nantes, and Jason Marcheux, visiting from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, joined the group.
The visit of the Rare Book Room was the highlight of the visit: these French students had to cross the Atlantic to hold the original edition of the Code Napoléon in their hands!
The CCLS thanks the Court and the Louisiana Law Library for their renewed hospitality, particularly Head Librarian Georgia Chadwick, Librarian Miriam Childs, Robert Gunn who gave the tour, and David Rigamer for these great photos.
