The Louisiana Center for Children's Rights (LCCR) is a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, LA, dedicated to advocating for and providing legal representation to children in the justice system. They challenge laws and policies that disproportionately affect youth of color and those from low-income backgrounds, striving for a Louisiana where children are supported in their communities rather than incarcerated. LCCR's team works tirelessly to address the unique needs of each client, both inside and outside the courtroom.
With a dual approach of advocacy and representation, LCCR fights for a fair and just juvenile legal system. They provide specialized, no-cost legal services to children in the justice system, as well as adults who were sentenced as children. Through their work, LCCR aims to create a society where children are not criminalized but instead given the support they need to thrive. Their dedication to standing with kids in the justice system, no matter the circumstances, sets them apart as a leading organization in the field.
