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

If they can speak French they could always try Quebec....
As for Martial Law - the provision does not exist... but the provision to call in the military to render aid to the civil athourities does... unless Louisiana has modified that provision under the Napoleonic Code.
