They are written by top-end law students who, although clueless about real world lawyering (not their fault btw), explore all sides of a certain legal issue with great research.

Hehe...that's ME! The law review editor stuck in academia!
Anyway, McUzi, to add to what Steve said, most good law school libraries will have an entire section for each state with state encycolpedias, case reporters, code, etc. Many will also have treatises on specific subjects (lie torts), etc.
Try to find a treatise (basically a book or collection of books) or a "hornbook" (type of thing one would use in a law school course) that gives an overview of the Lousiana Tort system. It'll probably have a nice section on the tort reform too.
I'm willing to bet that there have been dozens of law review articles written on LA tort reform. Look not only at what they say, but look at what they are citing in the footnotes as primary authority. There's probably a few sources that everyone is citing, so that should give you an idea of who the main scholars are in this area. Then go get their books and articles. Bam...instant paper.
Have fun.
