Judicial Branch

We are the Judicial Branch

""

The Judicial Branch (or J-board for short) is comprised of the Chief Justice, Associate Chief Justice, the Election Commissioner, and 4 Justices. Our responsibilities include: interpreting the constitution and all subsidiary documents to make binding decisions and recommendations through judicial reviews and questions, as well as administering all SGA regular and special elections!
