What is BLSA?

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 law students at Michigan.

As an affiliate of the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), our chapter focuses on sensitizing the legal community to the needs of the Black community, promoting the professional needs of Black law students, and assisting in the recruitment, retention, and placement of Black students.

Our Goal

Our BLSA chapter is 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.
