The Student Bar Association (SBA) is the student government of
the School of Law. It functions as the medium for the expression
and advocacy of students' views and the protection of their
interests, and acts as liaison between the student body, the
faculty and the administration of the school. The Executive Board
of the SBA consists of a President, Academic Vice President, Vice
President for Evening Students, Vice President for Day Students,
Treasurer, Secretary, and Associate Vice President for Evening
Students. Each officer is elected in a general student election of
the school to serve a one-year term. The governing body of the SBA
is the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is
made up of delegates from each section of the first, second, third,
and fourth year classes. They are elected by their respective
classmates to serve one-year terms.
All matriculated students of the School of Law are automatically
members of the SBA and eligible to serve on its Committees. These
Committees, which are either provided for in the SBA Constitution
or established by the Executive Board, deal with numerous aspects
of and bear responsibility for the general operation of student
affairs. Their obligations include representing student concerns to
the faculty and the administration, sponsoring a variety of
educational, social, and cultural events, and serving as the
central administration for the SBA funded student organizations and
national legal fraternities..
