Judicial Branch
The Student Government Judiciary consists of
seven justices. Out of those seven, a Chief Justice is elected annually to
preside over the Office of the Judiciary. It is the duty of these persons to
interpret the Student Government Constitution and Statutes. The judiciary also
settles disputes or complaints that students may have with Student Government,
its agencies, and SG funded clubs. The Judiciary is the final say on issues of
noncompliance, judicial complaint, or impeachment. Members gain important experience
in the areas of due process and proper judicial procedure. They also represent
the student body on the Academic Appeals Committee, Student Conduct, Parking
Appeals Board, J-hold and Fee Appeal Committees
