The BLA was formed in response to systemic discrimination faced by black attorneys. The primary motivation was to fight against the Group Areas Permit System, which restricted where black lawyers could practice.
To promote and protect the rights of black legal practitioners by ensuring equal access to opportunities in the legal profession, advocating for legal reforms, and empowering future generations of black lawyers.
To create a transformed and inclusive legal profession that upholds justice, equality, and fairness for all.
