Civic and Social Organizations
We are a national organization of Black law students committed to excellence and substantive equality.
About us
The Black Law Students’ Association of Canada (BLSA Canada) is a national student-run non-profit organization founded in 1991. We are committed to supporting and enhancing academic and professional opportunities for black law students in both official languages. This commitment extends to black high school and undergraduate students and the community generally through our mentorship initiatives and the newly founded BLSACares. BLSA Canada and its chapters at law schools nationwide are concerned with challenges faced by the black community as they relate to the legal system. Launching various initiatives to promote increased representation of black students in law schools and assist in facilitating their success are a priority. We are proud to provide opportunities for formal and informal discussions about many subjects including legal policy issues, effective career strategies, evolutions in substantive law and access to justice for marginalized groups. We reflect the diversity of the African/Black experience and welcome allies from all backgrounds who also seek to make a meaningful contribution to the furtherance of justice.

✨November Alumni Spotlight✨ This September, Laurelle A. Harris, K.C. took on a transformative role as the inaugural Director of the Internationally Trained Lawyer Program (ITLP) at Robson Hall. The ITLP is designed to provide internationally trained lawyers with the tools they need to meet the Law Society of Manitoba’s licensing requirements, offering a pathway to integrate into the Canadian legal system. Through two micro-diplomas, the program helps lawyers transition their skills and credentials to practice law in Manitoba, making a significant impact on access to justice and diversity within the profession. In 2023, Harris was appointed King’s Counsel, a testament to her leadership and excellence in law. With over 20 years of experience, a JD from Robson Hall, and expertise in mediation and arbitration, she has also been a key figure in fostering equity through her firm, Equitable Solutions Consulting. Harris's passion for advancing justice has led her to be a frequent lecturer on anti-racism, and access to justice, further amplifying the need for more equity within the legal education and profession.

Shoutout to Rebecca M. and the members and delegates of the Advocacy Committee for working so hard last week advocating on behalf of our over 400+ member community and putting forward such great work!
Fabulous to meet with Rebecca, Zara, Naomi, and Alisha from Black Law Students' Association of Canada to discuss increased representation of Black students in law schools, evolving substantive law, and improved access to justice for marginalized groups. Grateful for their commitment to ensure the law is reflective of and adequately represents all in 🇨🇦. #SenCA #CdnPoli #Advocacy
