Answer:

Napoleon. The legal system in Louisiana—unlike that of any other state—derives from the Civil Code established by the French emperor in 1804. ... In theory, a judge in Louisiana decides a case based on her own interpretation of the code, not those of prior courts

Explanation:

Louisiana is the only Civil law jurisdiction in the United States. Louisiana gets its Civil law legal system from its colonial past as a possession of two Civil law countries, Spain and France. It may be better to think of Louisiana's legal system as a hybrid consisting of both Civil and Common law influences
