Committed to excellence in capital defense, the LCAC emphasizes client-centered representation, constantly seeks to develop new and innovative advocacy strategies, and pursues systematic litigation related to issues such as racism in the criminal justice system and lack of funding for adequate representation. The primary focus of the organization is trial-level representation but they also represent indigent capital defendants in appellate, post-conviction, and habeas proceedings. The LCAC also conducts trainings and provides consult services to capital defenders statewide. In each aspect of their work they strive to meet these core values: achieving excellence; being client-centered; a spirit of service; and humility. 5 6 19 57 0 426 2780 1580993 1482783 167 304 0 1581586 1485867 0 0 1370381 1366204 0 0 359837 291506 1730218 1657710 -148632 -171843 1996860 2529738 143947 848667 1852913 1681071 The Louisiana Capital Assistance Center is a New Orleans based non-profit law office established in 1993 as the Louisiana Crisis Assistance Center. The LCAC represents indigent individuals who are charged with capital crimes in Louisiana at the trial level, in both state and federal court. The LCAC strives to begin representation of these individuals at the first possible opportunity post-offense so as not to lose the chance to assert critical rights and preserve relevant evidence; the LCAC has developed a vigorous pre-indictment advocacy practice. The LCAC has also developed a thorough and exacting motions practice, involving the filing of dozens of motions, the holding of multiple evidentiary hearings regarding both critical evidence in the case and the fairness of the criminal justice system, and the filing of multiple applications for supervisory writs (interlocutory appeals) with appellate courts.
