As a continuation of the work begun by the firm’s Task Force on Racial Equality, a Kelley Drye team, in partnership with the ACLU of Louisiana, sued the Lafayette Consolidated Government and several officials, including the Mayor-President, to vindicate our client’s First and Fourth Amendment rights after she was illegally arrested for engaging in a peaceful barbeque protest on a wide open public street outside the Mayor-President’s house.
The team is led by
Jim O’Gara and includes lawyers and professionals across Kelley Drye offices, including
Nancy Yanochik,
Molly Rao,
Maliha Khan,
Kaelyne Wietelman, and
Luis Pena-Navarro. You can read the full complaint
