Mission

The Louisiana Justice Coalition (LJC) will ensure the creation of a fully funded, statewide indigent defense system that complies with the American Bar Association's Ten Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System and the American Council of Chief Defenders and National Juvenile Defender Center's Ten Core Principles For Providing Quality Representation Through Indigent Defense Delivery Systems. LJC has initiated a comprehensive public education campaign to highlight the crisis in Louisiana's indigent defense system and bring about reform. The campaign will create a sustained base for coalition members to continue to advocate for fundamental fairness in Louisiana's criminal justice system for all of our citizens.
