The Magnetic Midwest Region of NBLSA
In 1968, Algernon Johnson (“A.J.”) Cooper founded the Black American Law Students Association on New York University Law School’s campus to promote the interests of Black and minority law students entering the legal profession. The organization was renamed the National Black Law Students Association (“NBLSA”) and established as a not-for-profit organization on December 19, 1969. Today NBLSA is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) organization and the largest student-run organization in the country, with 210 local chapters in six regions and a reach of over 15,000 law student members and alumni.
The Magnetic Midwest Region of the National Black Law Students Association comprises chapters in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Our region is divided into three subregions to better serve our students and to allow more opportunities for our students to be paired with law firms in mentorship opportunities.
Covering 14 states, with 44 law student chapters and 7 pre-law chapters, and more than 1,500 student members, we are the largest region in NBLSA.
