A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR

Picture
Greetings MABLSA Family,
 
I hope you all are doing well! My name is Asha Burwell, I am a rising 3L at the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law in Washington, D.C. I am so excited to serve as your Regional Chair for 2021-2022 term. The Mid-Atlantic Region is filled with so many amazing Black law students and one of my main goals this year is to keep us connected so that we can continue to support and empower one another. 

I know this past year has been unforgettable, but we made it! I encourage you to consider taking on a role as a student leader. In addition to MABLSA's annual initiatives, a few of my main goals for the year include: strengthening communication between our region's members; tackling inequities in legal education and the law school application process; keeping our members engaged in social justice issues and activities locally, nationally, and globally; as well as remaining a source of reliable support for our members. These are just a few of the many goals our Board will work as a collective to tackle. 

​Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for your support!
Yours in MABLSA Service,
Asha N. Burwell
