Journal of Civil Law Studies
The Journal of Civil Law Studies is a peer-reviewed, online and open-access periodical, published by the Center of Civil Law Studies. LSU Law students participate in the editorial process once papers have been accepted for publication. First published in 2008, it promotes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to the civil law in Louisiana and in the world.
The Journal has been going since 2008. You can download the whole issue or individual articles as PDFs. Articles in this issue include ones on Scotland, Spain and Switzerland. News from Switzerland (2012-2014): Major Reform of the Rules on Unfair Competition and of Domestic and International Family Law – also with references to introductions to Swiss law and online English translations of the Codes. Readers will know that you can get lots of official translations of Swiss law online nowadays. The authors of the article tend to use French-language references.
While we’re in Louisiana, remember you can get a Louisiana Civil Law Dictionary by Gregory W. Rome and Stephen Kinsella for Kindle.

Penalty clauses
It doesn’t seem over ten years since I mentioned penalty clauses.
Now Charlie Bavington, in A Pragmatic Eye, has come up with the problem in an agreement with a French translation company: Oh look, a penalty clause, with links comparing common law and civil law approaches.
