Civil Code I on the Louisiana Bar Exam
Family & Property
Civil Code I is Louisiana family and property law, marriage and matrimonial regimes, divorce and support, filiation, and the property rights (servitudes, usufruct, co-ownership, accession, prescription). Two big engines drive it: classifying marital property, and the real rights that carve into ownership.
Where it sits on the exam
- Day 1 (Monday), 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
- Tested by multi-part essay questions, and in recent years about 10 multiple-choice questions as well.
- One of 5 Code subjects. The five Code subjects count double the four non-Code subjects toward your score.
What it tests
Expect a family-law question and a property question (often servitudes). Precise classification and the right code articles win the points.
