National Black Law Journal

NBLJ has been committed to scholarly discourse exploring the intersection of race and the law for thirty-five years. Because of the drop in African-American students at UCLA School of Law after the passage of proposition 209, the journal was sent to Columbia where publication could be continued. NBLJ aims to publish articles that make a substantive contribution to current dialogue taking place around issues such as affirmative action, employment law, the criminal justice system, community development and labor issues. The journal has a commitment to publishing articles that inspire new thought, explore new alternatives, and contribute to current jurisprudential stances. In the Fall of 2009, a group of committed UCLA law students reformed the NBLJ Board and in Spring 2010, NBLJ published at UCLA for the first time in over a decade.
