Louisiana Appleseed Information

Louisiana Appleseed solves our state's toughest problems at their root cause by advocating for Access to Justice, Opportunity, and Education. We believe that our state will be stronger through fair and equitable access to the courts, the economy, and public schools. To accomplish this, we build bridges between vulnerable communities and our extensive network of pro bono professionals to develop meaningful and sustainable solutions that help justice take root. Our approach is unique: we engage volunteer attorneys and other professionals to partner with us to create policy-oriented research and advocacy. We work with government, legal services and other nonprofits to identify systemic problems, formulate solutions, and engage pro bono counsel to effect change. We provide a link from government and the business sectors to lawyers who want to use their skills and resources to help strengthen our state and its residents. Our innovative approach allows our organization to achieve its mission and create maximum impact in a cost-effective manner.
