Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The essay presents a comparative analysis of agency law in Louisiana and Germany, highlighting their distinct approaches shaped by their respective legal systems. It argues that while both jurisdictions address similar issues, such as the risks of abuse and third-party rights, German law offers a more coherent framework. The analysis proposes adopting certain German legal principles, such as exceptions to the risk of abuse, to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of Louisiana's agency law.
