Louisiana Appleseed, in partnership with the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Access to Justice Program and the Louisiana Department of Education, created a pamphlet to educate public schools about the use of custody affidavits, ensuring that students across Louisiana are able to enroll in school. Attorney volunteer Ian Ellis initially drafted an extensive white paper wherein he examined Louisiana law related to custody affidavits’ effect on school enrollment.
