New Orleans Legal Action Workers (N.O. L.A.W.) is a grassroots legal collective formed immediately after the hurricanes to combat police violence and oppression and address the legal needs of New Orleans citizens.
The public beating of Robert Davis brought to light a deeper and more widespread problem of police brutality and crooked courts in New Orleans. We are committed to the belief that everyone in entitled to legal justice. We are resisting the unjust actions of law enforcement and the courts through education, direct action, and outreach.
We hope to develop projects such as CopWatch (monitoring police
interactions), Know Your Rights and CopWatch education, and political
resistance to the courts and injustice system.
