Welcome How Appealing Readers

Mr. Bashman has picked an excellent time to share a slice of the Louisiana life with his readership. Louisiana has made national headlines for its connection with the Washington-area snipers, a serial killer, hurricanes, West Nile Virus, LSU's hiring/firing of Steven Hatfill, and most recently, as the childhood home of the United States soldier accused of attacking his own. Not to be outdone by itself, however, one of our state representatives has just announced plans to file a bill in the upcoming legislative session that will revoke the invitation of French President Jacques Chirac to join in Louisiana's Bicentennial Celebration of the Louisiana Purchase later this year. Thankfully, some state officials recognize that international relations is not an area that our state legislature should wade into with such haste.

Although Louisiana has an innate ability to embarrass itself in front of the nation and the world, it is our home. Visitors will find warm welcomes, unmatched cuisine and a sportsman's paradise. It is an honor for Naked Ownership to provide a portal into a subset of Louisiana's most famous commodities - law and politics. Although the site is still under construction, we hope that you will find it interesting enough to look around and pass on to those that might have an interest in Louisiana's legal scene. And for those that have never had the opportunity to visit New Orleans, you might want to check out the Fifth Circuit Appellate Practice and Advocacy Seminar to be held in the Big Easy next month. Finally, please feel free to leave any questions or comments about the site, travel tips, or that crazy Louisiana Civil Code.
