W. Harold Flowers Law Society
About W. Harold Flowers Law Society
Since its founding in 1930 as the Arkansas Black Lawyers Association, W. Harold Flowers Law Society has been a cornerstone of support for the African-American legal community in Little Rock and across Arkansas. In 1981, the organization honored the legacy of William Harold Flowers, Sr., a Pine Bluff civil rights icon whose pioneering legal efforts achieved historic change, including the desegregation of Arkansas's first law school. This rich history of advocacy and social progress continues to define the organization's mission today. W. Harold Flowers Law Society exists to build a thriving community of African-American law professionals who are deeply engaged in their local communities and committed to positive change. The organization welcomes licensed attorneys, law school students, and legal educators who share a passion for justice and community service. By serving as Arkansas's affiliate to the National Bar Association, the society connects its members to a broader network of legal professionals while maintaining its focus on local impact and relationship-building. The W. Harold Flowers Law Society represents more than just professional membership—it embodies a tradition of excellence, resilience, and commitment to using legal expertise as a force for good in Little Rock and throughout the state of Arkansas.
