DRLA’s legal team is proud to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities through cases seeking systemic change.

Disability Rights Louisiana takes cases that seek to change systems for the better for a great number of people with disabilities across the state, in order to achieve lasting effects beyond the particular case involved.
