Judicial Branch
The judicial branch of the Student Union issues opinions related to SU officers, student organizations, advisory opinions upon request, elections, and try all matters of impeachment. A justice must be nominated by Constitutional Council and confirmed by a majority of Senate and Treasury. A student will hold their position until they step down, study abroad, or graduate. The Chief Justice is determined by an internal vote.

Know Your Rights
Student Union is governed by two documents: the Constitution and Statutes. These outline the powers, responsibilities, and jurisdictions of each branch and position. If you have questions about either documents, previous ruling, or the judiciary, please contact the Chief Justice. For more information about each area, click the icon below.
The SU Constitution establishes the powers of student government and its branches. Amendments may be made through a majority vote by the student body.
Updated: Fall 2025
The SU Statutes elaborate on the duties of different elected positions, student groups, and the election process. Statutes may be changed by a 2/3 vote in Senate and Treasury.
