 What happens when Mardi Gras beads meet the Napoleonic Code? In this episode of the Subrogation Support Network, host Ashton Kirsch sits down with New Orleans partner Jim Busenlener to dive into Louisiana’s one-of-a-kind legal system. They discuss how French civil law still shapes subrogation today, the sweeping tort reforms shaking up the state, and why knowing the difference between “prescription” and “statute of limitations” could make or break your case.
