New Orleans Bulldog Society v. Louisiana Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Docket: 2016-C-1809 Opinion Date: May 3, 2017 Judge: Crichton Areas of Law: Government & Administrative Law, Non-Profit Corporations The Supreme Court granted review of this matter to determine whether the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (“LSPCA”) was subject to the Louisiana Public Records Law. More specifically, the issue was whether the LSPCA, by virtue of its Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (“CEA”) with the City of New Orleans to provide animal control services as mandated by the New Orleans Municipal Code, was an instrumentality of a municipal corporation such that it must comply with La. R.S. 44:1 et seq. The Court affirmed the court of appeal, and found that the LSPCA, through its function of providing animal control services for the City of New Orleans, was an instrumentality of the City of New Orleans and had to comply with the Public Records Law.

Advocacy groups also need to comply with requirements of the law. They may have the purest of intentions but if they don't do things right, there is also a huge chance of failure. This scenario happened before. They might employ volunteers or workers who are inefficient and unable to utilize and maximize resources and a lot will be put to waste. To avoid this, a third party auditor or screening committee must foresee all of their potentially ineffective activities.
