Black Law Students’ Association

The Robson Hall Black Law Students' Association (BLSA MB) focuses on creating a supportive space for law students who identify as Black and/or racial minorities. We promote non-discrimination and diversity, emphasizing a commitment to equal treatment for all members.

Our objectives include educating members on the importance of diversity in the legal field, facilitating discussions about the challenges faced by racial minorities in law, and providing social forums for networking and connection.

What is it?

Join the BLSA MB for a supportive community, promoting diversity in the legal field, and valuable networking opportunities. Connect with fellow law students who share similar backgrounds, participate in discussions on the challenges faced by racial minorities, and contribute to educational initiatives. Be part of a group actively encouraging a more diverse student body at the University of Manitoba. Join BLSA MB for a meaningful and impactful experience in your legal education journey.
