2022 MABL Scholarship Gala

Each year, the MABL Foundation invests in Black law students by awardimng scholarships to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and who are committed to addressing issues that impact the Black community. These students are recognized and honored at the Gala, along with the recipient of the MABL President's Award and the MABL Profiles in Courage Award - awarded to an individual who has demonstrated courage, excellence, and integrity in furthering the Association's mission of representing the interests of Black citizens in the legal profession and judicial system. 

The theme of this year's Scholarship Gala is, "Dreaming with Your Eyes Wide Open." The theme captured the ongoing challenges and opportunities to partner with the community and legal profession to do better and be better. As we emerge from the challenges of the last few years, we wanted to re-imagine and invest in our community by partnering with local Black businesses such as Pimento Jamaican Kitchen and Love You Cookie.  Attorney Bakari Sellers will deliver the keynote speech and the Grammy Award Winning Sounds of Blackness will perform.

We are excited to return to an in-person event at the Fillmore Minneapolis! 

**We kindly request all guests to be vaccinated against COVID 19 or wear a mask to protect the health and welfare of other guests.**
