Get the FULL TEXT of one section of Louisiana law by citation — Louisiana Revised Statutes (“RS 14:20” justifiable homicide, “La. R.S. 32:414” driver licence suspension), Civil Code articles (“CC 2315” liability for damages), Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP 966” summary judgment), Code of Criminal Procedure (“CCRP 701” speedy trial), Code of Evidence (“CE 404”), Children’s Code (“CHC 603”) and the Louisiana Constitution (“Const. Art. I, §5”). Returns the heading, statutory text, the section’s enactment and amendment history (“Added by Acts 1976, No. 655; Amended by Acts 2014, No. 163”) parsed into year/act pairs, and the legislature’s own URL. Keyless; sourced live from the Louisiana State Legislature. Use for “what does Louisiana R.S. 14:20 say”, “text of La. Civil Code art. 2315”, or to check a Louisiana statute a case or contract cites.
