44th Annual National Convention
About NBLSA In 1968, Algernon Johnson ("AJ") Cooper Jr., former mayor of Prichard, Alabama, founded the first Black American Law Students Association (BALSA) at the New York University Law School. In 1983, BALSA revised its name and the word "American" was deleted to encompass all blacks, including those not of American nationality. Later, the word "National" was added to reflect the organization's national expansion, which now includes representation in the law schools of forty-eight states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Today, the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), is a national organization formed to articulate and promote the needs and goals of black law students and effectuate change in the legal community. As the largest student run organization in the United States with nearly 6,000 members, NBLSA is also comprised of chapters or affiliates in six different countries including The Bahamas, Nigeria, and South Africa. Organized into six regions (Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Southern, Rocky Mountain and Western Region), the organization has over 200 chapters and is present in all but a few of the nation's accredited law schools, as well as unaccredited law schools. The headquarters of NBLSA is located in Washington, D.C. NBLSA encourages the development of talented, social conscious lawyers of tomorrow.
Mission The purpose of NBLSA is to utilize the collective resources of the member chapters to: • Articulate and promote the educational, professional, political, and social needs and goals of Black law students; • Foster and encourage professional competence; • Improve the relationship between Black law students, Black attorneys, and the American legal structure; • Instill in the Black attorney and law student a greater awareness and commitment to the needs of the Black community; • Influence the legal community by bringing about meaningful legal and political change that addresses the needs and concerns of the Black community; • Adopt and implement policies of economic independence; • Encourage Black law students to pursue careers in the judiciary; and

• Do all things necessary and appropriate to accomplish these purposes. •

44th Annual National Convention
Dear Convention Registrants, Each spring, the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) holds an Annual Convention. This year, we'll convene March 7-11, 2012 in our nation's capital. The primary purpose of our National Convention is to conduct the business of NBLSA: the submission of our annual officer reports and the election of national officers. Convention delegates will meet in efficient and productive plenary sessions throughout the week that update them on the current state of the organization. Our National Convention is also an opportunity for self-enrichment. Members have an opportunity to meet and interact with NBLSA members from around the country and the world; participate in competitions and workshops; and network with attorneys, legal employers, and other dignitaries. In our workshops, we'll discuss recent legal developments and issues affecting the black community and black attorneys. Last, our National Convention is a time for reflection and celebration. It is a time to honor the organization's accomplishments as we continue building towards a better future. We recognize outstanding members, chapters, regions, and national initiatives that best exemplify NBLSA's purpose - to strive for racial equity and fairness throughout the legal system. We also reflect on the achievements and sacrifices of those that came before us, and pay tribute to their legacy of service and excellence. Our 2012 convention theme, Pipelines & Pathways: Combining Today's Ambitions with Tomorrow's Realities, provides the perfect backdrop to engage in all three. This theme embodies our efforts to introduce our membership to influential people and distinct areas of the law (Pipelines) while highlighting how our closely connected community prepares our members to be successful advocates and mentors (Pathways). By combining our pipeline resources with our pathway preparation, we are cultivating a new generation of social engineers. Having a successful convention requires a tremendous level of effort and coordination from National and Regional board members as well as chapter leadership. In particular, I'd like to recognize the hard work of our national convention team Ijeoma Okolo, Latrice Hemphill, and Kaila Igelhart; and our event planners from Next Level Site Selection and Events, Myrlin Young and Brenda Wise. Last our convention would not be possible without you, our NBLSA members. We look forward to seeing you in our nation's capital this March. Thank you in advance for making our 44th National Convention the best yet! Until Washington, D.C., Chibundu Nnake Southern Methodist University | Dedman School of Law, Class of 2012 National Chair, 2011-2012 National Black Law Students Association
