"The curriculum offers a wide variety of subject matter. Not only is the variety good, but areas such as tax law and intellectual property have surprising depth due to the number of classes offered."

LSU Law delivers unusual value. In 2012, National Jurist/pre-Law Magazine ranked the LSU Law Center as the # 3 Best Value Law School in the nation. Tuition and fees for 2012-13 is $18,618 for residents and $36,006 for non-residents, a considerable value when compared with private school tuitions or out-of-state fees at other public universities.

Unlike modern Codes, articles are not numbered in a continuous manner. The numbering restarts with article 1, at the beginning of each Title.

The following example shows how you may cite the Digest Online:
