Our mission is to increase the number of Black public interest attorneys through the recruitment of prospective students and the support of current members.  We are also committed to fostering a community environment between BLSA alums and current members.  This work is accomplished with the support of alums and sponsors, through academic development, social action activities, and community outreach activities.
