Publisher's Synopsis
The Louisiana Law Institute, with the concurrence of the Mineral Law Section of the Louisiana Bar Association, undertook a project for adoption of a Mineral Code under the direction of Professor Eugene Nabors of the Tulane Law School. That work was continued by Professor George W. Hardy of the LSU Law School after he was appointed Reporter in July, 1963. In 1971 an Exposé des Motifs was published setting forth the statements of general principles that the Reporter and Advisory Committee were submitting to the Law Institute as a basis for legislation.
