Crawfish Law in Louisiana: Home

Down the crawfish hole of legal research

Welcome

     This LibGuide will provide the reader with a lot of information on Crawfish in the Law, but it is also intended to show the reader how to approach legal research, by using the familiar crawfish as a guide.

     In Louisiana, folks know the familiar trinity of cooking: celery, onion, and bell pepper. When making some Crawfish Etouffee, you should use all three. However, when performing legal research, many people forget the rule of three. There are three branches of government, and they each produce law. From the Judicial Branch we get caselaw, from the Executive Branch we get regulations, and from the Legislative Branch we get statutes. Depending on the recipe, you may need all three.

     When searching for information about crawfish, remember the CRAAP test. In fact, use that test whenever you search for information.
