Historically black law schools (HBLS’s) are American law schools within a HBCU (Historically Black College and University). After the Civil War and before the Civil rights movement, blacks were for the most part denied access to equal opportunities for education. Higher education for blacks was largely unavailable, prior to the establishment of HBCU’s which were largely the only institutions available for blacks to attend college. Today, 105 HBCU’s exist across the country. Although at one point, 13 Historically Black Law Schools were established within the United States, currently there are six Historically Black Law Schools within those 105 HBCU’s, which are accredited by the American Bar Association. Those law schools include the following: # Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University - Houston, TX # Howard University School of Law – Washington, DC # North Carolina Central University School of Law – Durham, NC # Florida A&M University College of Law – Orlando, FL # The UDC David A. Clarke School of Law – Washington, DC # SU Law Center - Baton Rouge, LA ==Importance of HBLS’s Originally== HBL’s were originally created in response to the exclusion of blacks from white law schools. Segregation was an unfortunate reality in the United States, and the separate-but-equal doctrine only served to continue this tradition of inequality. They traditionally consisted of all or mostly black students. Without them, many blacks would not have had the opportunity to study law at all. Although blacks are no longer facially prohibited from any university or law school, HBL's still serve an important purpose in today’s society and address an array of social issues that still affect the nation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historically black law schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
