About this user
Founded in 1968, the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA)
is a national, non-profit organization created and designed to
articulate and promote the professional needs and goals of Black law
students; foster and encourage professional competence; focus upon the
relationship of the Black attorney to the American legal system;
instill in the Black attorney and law student a greater awareness of
and commitment to the needs of the Black community; utilize member
expertise to initiate a change within the legal system that will make
it more responsive to the needs and concerns of the Black community;
and do any and all things necessary and lawful in order to accomplish
these goals.
NBLSA is the largest student-run organization in America and has
approximately 200 chapters at law schools throughout the country. This
represents almost every ABA accredited law school, plus several
non-accredited law schools. These chapters represent nearly 6,000
Black law students in six regions that encompass 48 states including
Hawaii and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Recently, NBLSA has
established an international connection with Black law students in
Canada, England, South Africa, and the Bahamas who have decided to
model their student organizations after NBLSA.
