Mission Statement. The Black Law Student Association (BLSA) of Franklin Pierce Law Center is a professional, nationally-affiliated organization of black law students dedicated to improving opportunities in legal education.

The purpose of the organization is to support, guide and direct Black students in academic, professional and social endeavors.

We recognize the need to act positively in the development of the Black community, to encourage cooperation and closer ties between members of the Law School's Black community and to establish a vehicle through which our concerns are brought to bear on Franklin Pierce Law Center's school policy and the community at large.

In addition, we acknowledge the common goals which bond student and professional organizations of color and we aspire to foster relationships with these groups. We welcome all student participation to further these goals.
