articulate and promote professional competence
to focus upon the relationship between the Black attorney and the American legal structure
to instill in the Black attorney and Black law student a greater awareness of and commitment to the needs of the Black community
to influence American law schools, legal fraternities and associations to use their expertise and prestige to bring about change within the legal system in order to make it responsive to the needs of the Black community and to do any and all things necessary and lawful for the accomplishment of this purpose
to fulfill the obligations of the National Black Law Students Association for chapter membership as outlined in the NBLSA constitution (Art. III §2(A))
