La.-Trained Lawyers Find Niche in Iraq
BATON ROUGE, La. - Iraq's prosecution of insurgents is getting a helping hand from U.S. Army lawyers who were schooled in Louisiana, the only state that also has courts rooted in the French legal system that allows judges to act as inquisitors.
One of the lawyers, Capt. Dan Stigall, said he found similarities between the two systems as soon as he opened an Iraqi law book.

Actually, I already knew that Louisiana had a different legal system than the other 50 states. Anyone who has ever used legal software has seen the disclaimer that it is not valid in La.
Still, I can imagine the irony.
