Judicial Branch

The Judicial Branch shall be made up of the Student Judiciary Advocate (SJA) and a Student Judiciary Panel (SJP).   

SJA Duties: The SJA shall oversee both the Spring General and Homecoming elections and shall hold the candidates’ meeting for said elections. 

Duties of the SJP: The SJP will be vested with the power to interpret any part of the SGA Code of Laws. The SJP will be called upon if there is any discrepancy or confusion about the SGA Code of Laws. Any interpretation, in order to be valid, must have a majority vote (50%+1) of the SJP. These interpretations will set future precedence. 

The Student Judiciary Panel: The SJP shall be made up of a minimum of three (3) at-large members of the student body who are not already elected or appointed officers within the SGA. Members of the SJP shall be appointed by the SJA. The SJA will serve as the non-voting presiding officer of this panel, except in the case of a tie.
