Student Body Supreme Court Accepting Applications

Are you interested in seeing how the IU judicial system works?
Thinking about applying to law school?

If so, you may be interested in serving on the Student Body Supreme Court of Indiana University. The Court is currently accepting applications from all majors for Associate Justice positions for the 2008-2009 school year. You can pick up an application in the IUSA office (room 387 in the Student Activities Tower of the IMU), or online at www.indiana.edu/~court. Applications are due Friday, March 7, at 5 pm, in the IUSA office or via e-mail to court@indiana.edu. Please also feel free to contact the Court at this address if you have questions.

What is the Student Body Supreme Court?
The Court is the judicial branch of IUSA. We re-hear judicial board cases that have been appealed, acting as student representatives on 3-person hearing commissions each made up of two professors and a student. We also confirm the new IUSA executive administration each year and make decisions when IUSA campaign issues arise or if results of an election are ambiguous. We hold conferences with campus judicial boards to determine the consistency of sanctions and are also involved in editing the Student Code. Additionally, Court members serve on student advisory boards all over campus. The Court is unique in that its decisions have the potential to impact the entire Bloomington campus community. We welcome your application!
