The Thurgood Marshall Law Society (TMLS) is a prominent organization in Providence, RI, dedicated to advancing the active participation of attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students of color in the field of jurisprudence. With a strong commitment to upholding the honor of the legal profession, TMLS promotes collaboration and networking among Rhode Island attorneys while safeguarding the civil and political rights of all citizens in the state.
Originally known as the Rhode Island Black Lawyers Association, TMLS was reorganized in 2003 to foster inclusivity and support the growth of diversity in the judiciary, bar association, and related legal professionals and students in Rhode Island and southern New England. Inspired by the legacy of Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, TMLS strives to make a positive impact on the legal community and society as a whole.
