"Easement” is a common law term; “servitude” is a civil law term. Because Shreveport and Bossier are near to Texas and Arkansas, many of the professionals who work in our area have relocated here from these other states and have their professional roots in the common law. So it is not unusual, for example, for surveyors and civil engineers to prepare plats of survey using common law terminology like “easement”. Lawyers (like me) who are trained in the civilian method prefer to keep our terminology straight and use the proper term: servitude. But sometimes we just have to work around things. However, generally speaking, an easement and a servitude perform the same function. Each of them create a right against a parcel of property that can be asserted by another person who is not the owner of the parcel. (First Commerce Title)
