Minority Law Students Association

Mission Statement

Minority Law Students Association (“MLSA”) exists to address the unique needs and concerns of minority law students, and to promote diversity within the Chapman Law community and legal profession in general.  Specifically, MLSA seeks to develop, implement, and maintain programs to increase the recruitment, academic excellence and professional development of students of color at Chapman Law School.  MLSA also exists to provide a social support group for minority students in fostering their success and happiness.  Activities include various outreach programs to high school students, social functions, speakers, panel discussions, and scholarship opportunities for current law students.  Membership is open to all students.

Through the use of consistent social interaction, multi-cultural programming and programming geared largely towards scholarship, career and community assistance, MLSA fosters academic achievement, understanding of and respect for differences, and, ultimately, the development of future minority leadership.
