Student Bar Association (SBA)

Student Bar Association (SBA)

The Student Bar Association (SBA) is the student government of the law school. Three students from each class and two non-JD students are elected each year by the student body to serve on SBA, along with a 3L President and Vice President. SBA’s goal generally is to enhance the Law School community by putting on events for students and supporting other clubs’ events. 

Beyond student events, SBA is responsible for voicing law student concerns and suggestions to the law school’s administration via its seats on the Dean’s Advisory Council. SBA also acts in close coordination with the Office of Student of Affairs in putting on events and tending to the day-to-day needs of law students.
