The University of Chicago Black Law Students Association is a student organization at the University of Chicago Law School.
Named in honor of the trailblazer, activist, and the school's first African-American graduate, The Earl B. Dickerson Chapter of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) is one of the most active student organizations at The University of Chicago Law School. BLSA serves the The Law School community in three major ways:
1. By creating a forum in which issues that of concern to an increasingly diverse student body and legal profession can be safely articulated, discussed, and promoted;
2. By serving as the key affinity group for African-American students, and being sensitive and response to their needs in a way that no other student organization can; and
3. By acting as the catalyst to facilitate interaction among BLSA members, African-American alum of the University of Chicago Law School, The Law School Administration, and the legal community in Chicago and beyond.
UChicago BLSA is a multi-faceted organization committed to increasing student and faculty diversity and supporting a high quality of student life at The Law School. We welcome and look forward to receiving your input, advice, and assistance as we work toward successfully executing our mission.
