The Student Government Judicial Branch consists of nine justices. Out of those nine, a Chief Justice is elected annually to preside over the Judicial Branch. It is the duty of these persons to interpret the Student Government Constitution and Statutes. The Judicial Branch also settles disputes or complaints that students may have with Student Government, its agencies, and SG funded clubs. The Judicial Branch 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
