The Senate Concurrent Resolution recognizes the bicentennial anniversary of the Louisiana Civil Code, which was enacted in 1825. This landmark document is celebrated for its foundational role in shaping Louisiana's legal system, reflecting the principles of justice and civil law influenced by French, Spanish, and Roman traditions. The resolution highlights the efforts of legal scholars who revised earlier laws to create the Civil Code and acknowledges its ongoing impact on individual rights and the legal framework in the state.

The resolution calls for recognition of the Louisiana Civil Code's enduring legacy and the contributions of those who have upheld its principles, emphasizing its importance not only in Louisiana but also in the broader context of civil law traditions worldwide.
