    The University of Michigan’s Black Law Students Alliance (BLSA) is a professional organization of Black Law students committed to furthering the academic, professional, and cultural needs and goals of the Black students at the law school.  As an affiliate of the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), our chapter focuses on sensitizing the legal community to the needs of he Black community, promoting the professional needs of Black law students, and assisting in the recruitment, retention, and placement of Black students.

    We are organized to empower Black law students with the knowledge and resources to be successful students, mentors, and professionals in the legal community.  Through the use of social interaction and programming, geared largely towards scholarship, career development, and community involvement, BLSA fosters academic achievement, community involvement, and ultimately, the development of strong Black leadership in the legal profession.

PROUD MARY!

On the night of November 12th, 7 members of the University of Michigan’s Black Law Students Alliance (BLSA) brought down the house and closed the 1st Annual Michigan Law Culture show (“In Living Culture”) with their rendition of the Tina & Ike Turner classic “Proud Mary”.

Rachel Wilson (2L) accompanied by Corlandos Scott (2L) sang with the perfect mix of rock and soul as the talented group of ladies consisting of Stacey McClurkin (1L), Mariska Richards (1L), Michelle Cox (1L), Amber Hay (1L), and Kristina Butler (1L) twisted, strutted, and worked their stuff across the stage.  I guarantee you that “Mary” was indeed “Proud” of this performance.  For stills, click here.
