ABOUT US

 In February of 1975, a group of Black lawyers in Tallahassee, Florida, decided to form an organization of Black lawyers in the panhandle area of North Florida. Initially called “The Black Lawyers of Tallahassee” (“BLOT”), the membership was comprised of all of the Black lawyers in Tallahassee.

 Over the past fifty years, the Tallahassee Barristers Association’s focus has remained steadfast on the legal and economic empowerment of minorities, primarily African-Americans, which it accomplishes by upholding the highest standards of legal ethics and principles within the legal profession.
