Northeast Region, National Black Law Students Association

Welcome to the official page of the Northeast Region of the National Black Law Students Association (NEBLSA).

NEBLSA is comprised of Chapters from: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey (northern), New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. NEBLSA is the region that founded the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) in 1968 that expanded and became a National Organization. In 1968, Algernon Johnson (“AJ”) Cooper, former mayor of Prichard, Alabama, founded the first Black American

Law Students Association (BALSA) at the New York University Law School. In 1983, BALSA revised its name and the word “American” was deleted to encompass all blacks, including those not of American nationality. Later, the word “National” was added to reflect the organization’s national expansion, which now includes representation in the law schools of forty-eight states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
