The Black Law Students' Association represents an important community within the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law, located in Denver, CO. This student organization embodies the law school's deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion—values that have shaped Denver Law's identity since its founding over 130 years ago.
Sturm College of Law has a distinguished history as a pioneer in legal education, opening the nation's first legal aid clinic in 1904. This legacy of innovation and service continues to define the institution's culture and mission. The Black Law Students' Association participates in this tradition by creating spaces for Black law students to support one another academically, professionally, and personally throughout their legal education.
The organization serves as a vital bridge between law students and the Denver legal community. Through collaborative efforts with community organizations and professional networks, the association helps members build meaningful relationships and develop a sense of belonging within both the law school and the broader legal profession. The association's programming—including panels, speaker events, and networking opportunities—provides platforms for members to explore career paths, develop leadership skills, and celebrate their identities.
As one of more than 50 student organizations at Sturm College of Law, the Black Law Students' Association reflects the diverse interests and backgrounds of Denver Law's student body. The law school actively encourages student-led initiatives and provides funding through the Student Bar Association to support organizations that enrich campus life. For Black law students in Denver, this organization offers community, mentorship, and the solidarity needed to thrive in law school and beyond.
