Congratulations to our 2024 James B. Parsons Legacy Dinner honoree, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman of the Northern District of Illinois!
Welcome to the UChicago BLSA Website!
Named in honor of the trailblazer, activist, and the school's first Black student to earn a J.D., the Earl B. Dickerson Chapter of The Black Law Students Association (BLSA) is one of the most active student organizations at The University of Chicago Law School. BLSA serves the The Law School community in three major ways:
1. By creating a forum in which issues that are of concern to an increasingly diverse student body and legal profession can be safely articulated, discussed, and promoted;
2. By serving as the key affinity group for Black students and by being sensitive and responsive to their needs; and
3. By catalyzing interaction among BLSA members, Black alumni, the Chicago legal community, and beyond.
UChicago BLSA is a multi-faceted organization committed to increasing student and faculty diversity and to supporting a high quality of student life at The Law School. We welcome your input, advice, and assistance as we work toward successfully executing our mission.
