The Louisiana Attorney General heads the Department of Justice and serves as the state's chief legal officer. The Department's Civil, Criminal, Litigation and Public Protection Divisions together function as a full-service firm for the state, protecting its interests in key litigation and non-litigation matters.
The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.”
Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe.
Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.
