JAC also launched a monthly Re-Entry Legal Clinic, which we facilitated ten times, serving 97 clients. JAC utilized staff and pro bono attorneys, as well as coordinated with partner organizations, to remove legal barriers that could derail re-entry such as eliminating prescribed traffic tickets, applying for (and appealing denials of) public benefits, addressing consumer debt, and modifying child support payments to amounts that are more manageable. Through our ReEntry Attachment Docket program we eliminated nearly a half million dollars in outdated traffic debt at the New Orleans Municipal Traffic Court for 127 people. 51574 15615 EXPUNGEMENT PROGRAM: JAC held 16 expungement workshops in 2019, providing advice or representation to 495 individuals, utilizing approximately 25 pro bono attorneys and volunteers to facilitate the workshops. In 2019 we continued to provide juvenile expungement assistance in the north Louisiana (Shreveport, Bossier City), to assist individuals with issues accessing public housing due to their criminal records. The majority of our expungement program participants are low-income, African-American people, who we serve through expungement workshops in southeast Louisiana (New Orleans, Houma, St. Tammany Parish). We also held two CLEs for nearly 40 attorneys, training more individuals on how to practice in this under-served areas of the law. 270924 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X VANESSA SPINAZOLA 5043224050 4035 WASHINGTON AVENUE SUITE 203 NEW ORLEANS LA 70125 VANESSA SPINAZOLA Executive Dir. 60.00 0.00 X 80000 0 0 ROYCE DUPLESSIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH FAUBERT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIM WATTS Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS D'AMOUR Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JUDSON MITCHELL Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHEL GASSERT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MONIKA GERHART VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NZINGA HILL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IVY WANG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIENNE WHEELER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 80000 0 false false false 0 70580 545208 615788 LEGAL SERVICES 541100 17301 17301 17301 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 633089 17301 X 0 0 0 0 80000 56000 24000 0 50691 50691 0 9352 7686 1666 9980 8032 1948 0 12348 12348 10368 10368 0 0 0 99501 99501 0 10851 9454 1397 539 431 108 0 8716 6101 2615 11415 11090 325 0 0 0 0 0 4452 4452 TRAINING 9590 9590 MISCELLANEOUS 2144 2144 0 319947 270924 49023 0 44736 189505 0 0 18119 209810 0 0 0 0 2479 0 0 0 0 0 663 0 63518 401794 304 25438 304 25438 X 63214 376356 63214 376356 63518 401794 313142 X true X false false false X 119964 271088 231681 191272 615788 1429793 0 0 119964 271088 231681 191272 615788 1429793 695469 734324 3 2 5 0 0 1429798 71434 0.51360 0.53370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X Part X : FIN48 Footnote THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
