As Berkeley Law’s chapter of the National Black Law Students Association, LSAD is a place for Black law students to build community and find mutual support in their legal journey. LSAD actively participates in the recruitment and retention of Black students. Over the past four years, we’ve seen our membership steadily grow, in part due to the dedication of each class to mentor and support one another. 

LSAD offers targeted programming focused on academic support, professional development, and relationship building for Black students. In addition, we seek to engage in advocacy and community outreach that centers the interests of the Black community in Berkeley and beyond. Whether you are a student or alum, administrative staff or faculty, sponsor or community member, we are excited about building with you.
