Our work
BFL supports Black undergraduate students from aspiration to access and beyond. Our programming combines academic preparation, professional exposure, and culturally grounded mentorship to create a clear and supported path to law school.
Whether it’s LSAT workshops, courthouse and law firm visits, personal statement coaching, or panels with Black lawyers and judges, BFL’s approach is practical, personal, and rooted in community. Our members are not just learning how to apply to law school; they are building confidence, strengthening their network, and gaining a sense of belonging in a profession where they have been historically excluded.
