Baton Rouge Laws

Baton Rouge is home to both LSU and Southern University, so it should be no surprise that this city bustles with Louisiana’s southern youth culture. You’d be hard pressed to find a move lively scene for foodies or music lovers than “Red Stick.” Louisiana’s legal system is uniquely based on the French and Spanish civil codes, as opposed to English common law like the other 49 states. Locating the correct legal resources is a difficult task for anyone, so FindLaw has compiled local information about courthouses, legal aid groups, and what to do if you are involved in either a car accident or DUI.
