A faster way through Louisiana law.

The Louisiana Law Browser is a robust reference to Louisiana’s laws and rules — the Constitution, the codes, the Revised Statutes, and the court and legislative rules — brought together in one place and built to be quicker and easier to use than anything else out there.

Free to explore — all you need is an email address and an internet connection.

The Louisiana Law Browser — a gold pelican-in-her-piety on a navy field
Why I built it
“As a practicing attorney, I’m constantly looking up provisions and court rules — and every option was slow, clunky, and painful to work in. The legislature’s official site, LexisNexis, Westlaw, vLex — none let me move through the law the way I actually needed to. So I built the tool I wanted. Turns out a lot of people — lawyers or not — want the same thing.”

— Greg Akers, Partner at Akers+Melder

Why it’s better

What makes it different

Faster than the rest

Quicker to search and read than the legislature’s official site or the big paid databases — LexisNexis, Westlaw, and vLex.

Follow every reference

Cross-references are live links. Jump from one article to the next the way the law actually connects — no new searches, no lost place.

The best of book and browser

The easy, one-article-after-the-next flow of a printed code, with the speed and search of the web — and none of the downsides of a heavy, out-of-date book.

Make it yours
