Black Law Students Association (BLSA)
Mission Statement. The Black Law Student Association (BLSA) of Franklin
Pierce Law Center is a professional, nationally-affiliated organization
of black law students dedicated to improving opportunities in legal
education.
The purpose of the organization is to support, guide
and direct Black students in academic, professional and social
endeavors.
We recognize the need to act positively in the development
of the Black community, to encourage cooperation and closer ties
between members of the Law School's Black community and to establish a
vehicle through which our concerns are brought to bear on Franklin
Pierce Law Center's school policy and the community at large.
In
addition, we acknowledge the common goals which bond student and
professional organizations of color and we aspire to foster
relationships with these groups. We welcome all student participation
to further these goals.
