I took his class and read his book many, many times. He also publishes a case book on Louisiana law of Sale and Lease. If you want a historical perspective of Louisiana law relating to obligations (similar to contracts) from the man who wrote that portion of the Louisiana Civil Code, this is the book for you. Topics range from unilateral and bilateral obligations (a common law contract) to damages, theory of cause and vices of consent. But, be ready for some old although pertinent law as Prof. Litvinoff relishes cases earlier than 1900. The case book is supplemented with exerpts from Planiol, Aubry and Rau, as well as from Prof. Litvinoff's law review publications.

I took Professor Litvinoff's class so I read this casebook quite often. If you are looking for a historical perspective of the nominate contracts of sale and lease, your search is over. Subjects cover all Louisiana Civil Code provisions relating to sale and lease as well as select revised statutes. The casebook is suplemented with selections by Planiol and other Civil Law commentators as well as exerpts from Prof. Litvinoff's law review publications.
