Together, We Are The Voice of Our Profession

Growing our profession by advancing the success of every member.

In contemporary times, African American lawyers in North Carolina have organized to advance the cause of justice for Black People. Today’s North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers traces its roots to the North Carolina Lawyers Association organized in Durham in 1954. The Constitution of that organization was adopted on June 12, 1954.

EARLY ADVOCACY

The NCABL was created to challenge systemic racism in the legal system and advocate for equal rights for African Americans in North Carolina. Our members were at the forefront of legal battles to end segregation, protect voting rights, and promote equal opportunities.

SUPPORT FOR BLACK LAWYERS

Historically, African American lawyers in North Carolina faced numerous obstacles in employment and career advancement. NCABL provided essential mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities to support these lawyers in building successful careers.

CIVIL RIGHTS INVOLVEMENT

The NCABL played a significant role in landmark civil rights cases and legislation, working tirelessly to end segregation and promote equality. Our members have always been at the center of legal efforts to protect the rights of African Americans.

GROWTH AND EXPANSION

Over time, NCABL has grown to include a diverse range of legal professionals, from practicing attorneys to judges and law students. We now address critical issues such as police brutality, criminal justice reform, and economic empowerment within Black communities.
