Office of Pre-Law Advising

National Black Law Students Association

The National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) is a national organization created and designed to articulate and promote the professional needs and goals of Black law students; to foster and encourage professional competence; to focus upon the relationship of the Black attorney to the American legal system; to instill in the Black attorney and law student a greater awareness of and commitment to the needs of the Black community; to utilize their expertise to initiate a change within the legal system that will make it more responsive to the needs and concerns of the Black community; to do any and all things necessary and lawful for the accomplishment of these goals.

Article III, § 2(H) of NBLSA’s Constitution provides for the establishment of a College Student Division (CSD). One of the many important purposes of the CSD is to articulate and advocate the professional needs and goals of Black pre-law students. In addition, the CSD was developed to encourage Black pre-law students to attend law school and pursue careers in the legal profession; assist Black pre-law students in properly preparing to attend law school; to advocate the goals and purposes of NBLSA through participation and cooperation with NBLSA; and to instill in Black pre-law students an awareness and dedication to take an active role in addressing the needs of the Black community.
