WRBLSA operates within the broader governance structure of the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA). The NBLSA Constitution and Bylaws establish the organization’s national framework, while the WRBLSA Constitution and Bylaws govern the Western Region and provide the structure for regional leadership, operations, and programming. Local BLSA chapters are expected to maintain their own governing documents that establish the structure and procedures of their respective organizations.

​

The governing documents below provide the foundation for WRBLSA’s operations and help ensure consistency, accountability, and effective leadership across the Region. These documents are reviewed and, when necessary, revised through the appropriate legislative and plenary processes at NBLSA’s National Convention and WRBLSA’s Regional Convention.

​

WRBLSA is also committed to supporting local chapters in establishing and maintaining strong organizational structures. If your chapter does not currently have a Constitution or Bylaws, or if you would like assistance reviewing or updating your governing documents, please contact western@nblsa.org.​
