Dickinson Law's BLSA Promotes Leadership, Academic Excellence and Social Consciousness within the Dickinson Law Community.
Founded in 1968, the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), was formed to promote the needs and goals of black law students and effect change in the legal community. The largest entirely student run organization in the United States with nearly 6,000 members, NBLSA is also comprised of chapters or affiliates in six different countries including The Bahamas, Nigeria, and South Africa.
Our purpose is to promote to the success and development of our members through educational, professional, cultural and social programs; instill a greater awareness and commitment to the needs of the community; provide a forum for the discussion of local and national issues affecting both BLSA and the law school community as a whole; diversify the curriculum content to reflect greater diversity of identities and perspectives among the student body and people who comprise the market for legal services by working with the curriculum committee and professors; and address interviewing and job placement concerns that may be specific to minorities by working with Career Services.
