The Student Bar Association (SBA) is the student government at
St. John's 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
Law School's faculty and the administration.
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 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 law students are automatically members of the SBA
and eligible to serve on the
SBA 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.*
