The way I understand it, Louisiana is under the Napoleonic Code system of laws rather than the Common Law system that we have in the other 49 state. There exists no provision withinin their system of law to declare martial law.

I feel sorry for the lawyers that only know that system. They're going to have a hell of a time finding work.
