SOCIOLOGY OF AGENCY

The Black Law Students Association is an organization created and designed to articulate and promote the professional needs and goals of Black law students. To foster and encourage professional competence. To focus upon the relationship of the black student and the university. To instill in the Black law student a greater awareness of and commitment to the needs of the black community. To utilize their expertise to initiate change within the legal system that will make it more responsive to the needs and concerns of the black law student and its community. To do all things necessary and lawful for the accomplishment of these goals.

Since the passage of proposition 209 enrollment based on race, ethnicity, and gender has decreased the first year after its passage by 30 percent. The few Black students who are admitted need organizations where they can come for support in academia and other race issues. With a goal of being able to graduate and have all options open.
