Court Watch New Orleans

Court Watch NOLA volunteers are unsung heroes of New Orleans criminal justice system

The Times-Picayune ran a story highlighting two of our volunteers, David Nelson and Charles Bibbins. It really highlighted how wonderful our volunteers are and how important our work is in helping the criminal justice system in New Orleans do better. http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/12/court_watch_nola_volunteers_ar.html
