Articulating and addressing the academic, financial, political, social and professional needs of its membership;
Fostering and encouraging professional competence;
Encouraging the increase in the number of Black students and addressing problems of attrition (should they exist);
Instilling in members a greater awareness and commitment to the needs of the Black community;
Encouraging the increase in the number of Black faculty in the law school;
Promoting the interaction between the membership and other organizations within the law school and the University specifically, and the legal community and Black community generally; and
Doing all things necessary and appropriate to accomplish these purposes.
