The Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (LCAC) is a non-profit capital trial organization deeply committed to providing quality legal representation to people facing the death penalty in Louisiana.

The LCAC emphasizes client-centered representation, constantly seeks to develop new and innovative advocacy strategies, and also pursues systematic litigation related to issues involving racism in the criminal justice system and lack of funding for adequate representation.

The Louisiana Capital Assistance Center has found itself greatly affected by the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. We are fortunate that all our staff are safe and we have now returned to New Orleans. The burden of temporarily relocating and our return to the Crescent City has taken a heavy toll upon our resources. Moreover, we are deeply concerned for the relatives of our clients, many of whom would have been far less fortunate than us.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has provided us with the support that has allowed us to continue our work. Despite recent events in New Orleans and the many challenges the city now faces, the organization now has a broader mission to expose the systemic problems in the criminal justice system.

The LCAC has a number of employment opportunities at this time and we are actively seeking to fill these positions. Please click here for further information.

We continue to offer internships to summer students and we would encourage those interested in applying to refer to our internships information on this site.
