The BLAC is a professional organization that is rich in history and is committed to seeing that all lawyers in the Cincinnati area, regardless of race, color, creed, or sex are given the opportunity to share equally in the legal profession.

Our current membership includes judges, lawyers, law students and many others who are committed to the diversification and progression of our legal community. As we embark on the BLAC's 26th anniversary year in 2011, we want to sincerely thank you for your interest in the BLAC. Your help is what makes our continued success possible. We invite you to explore our new website and we look forward to working with you this year.
