Please mark your calendars for our 6th Annual MLK Day of Service and Celebration at the School of Law on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025! The event, including lunch during the noontime celebration, is free and open to the public.

This year we will be hosting a blood drive on-site at King Hall on MLK Day. Additionally, we are organizing a donation drive for Umoja International Academy in East Sacramento. On MLK Day, community members will also complete service projects at the school.

For the last five years, King Hall’s Black Law Students Association (BLSA), along with the Office for Student Affairs and support from the Law Student Association (LSA), has put on a day of service and hosted a speaker for lunch.

This year’s noontime luncheon program includes remarks by Dean Jessica Berg and BLSA President Jessica Hale ’26. Associate Justice of the Third District Court of Appeal Stacy Boulware Eurie ’95 will deliver the keynote address. Justice Boulware Eurie was appointed to the appellate court by Governor Newsom in 2022. Before that, she served as a trial judge on the Sacramento Superior Court for 15 years, presiding over civil, criminal and appellate matters. She was the Juvenile Court Presiding Judge from 2010-2018. Justice Boulware Eurie delivered the keynote address at UC Davis School of Law’s Class of 2022 commencement. Click here for the livestream link of Justice Boulware Eurie's MLK Day remarks.

Each volunteer will receive a free annual t-shirt that BLSA creates.
