Law students and Muslim Law Student Associations from around the country have organized to form a unified national network. This is the first time that representatives from law schools around the nation have formed a national network of Muslim law students, with the aim of setting up known as National Muslim Law Student Association (NMLSA).

NMLSA hopes to play a key role in facilitating dialogues to promote understanding, tolerance, and the exchange of ideas among law students of all religions, races, and backgrounds. We also aim to encourage the active involvement and integration of Muslims into the American legal system and to promote greater diversity in the legal profession. Through its activities, NMLSA plans to promote the balanced and comprehensive professional, spiritual, cultural, and academic development of all law students, regardless of their religious or racial background.

NMLSA hopes to play a key role in encouraging and promoting the active involvement of Muslim law students in shaping the American legal landscape. At the same time, NMLSA will encourage Muslim law students to be proactive and push to set up new chapters in their law schools to give Muslims a voice in the American law school scene.

So far, NMLSA has received strong encouragement and assistance from the National Black Law Student Association’s Executive Committee, the National Association of Muslim Lawyers as well as from individuals in the American Bar Association’s Law Student Division. The organization also works with MLSA chapters at law schools across the nation. 

Contact us if you want to join the NMLSA list-serve, start a chapter of NMLSA in your law school, be a law school rep, be a circuit coordinator for NMLSA, or if you want to hook up your local law school organization with the national network.
