What is the Student Body Supreme Court?

The Court is the judicial branch of the Indiana University Student Association (IUSA). Court members hear campus judicial cases as members of three-person hearing commissions. The Court also adjudicates election disputes, certifies election results, hears challenges to the IUSA Constitution and Bylaws, and confirms the new IUSA executive administration each year. Additionally, each year the Court hosts a conference with campus judicial boards for the purposes of facilitating discussion about the campus judicial system. Court justices also serve as student appointees on advisory boards across campus. The Court is unique in that its decisions have the potential to impact the entire IU-Bloomington community. We encourage you to apply and look forward to receiving your application.
