7. Student Organizations
   
   
   1. Student Bar Association
      
      The Student Bar Association (SBA) is the representative body for all students enrolled in the School of Law. Upon admission, a student automatically becomes a member of the SBA, which is governed by elected representatives from each class of both the part-time and full-time divisions. Elected officers include the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and ABA/Law Student Division Representative.
      
      All students are invited and encouraged to attend the regularly scheduled meetings of the SBA. The time, place and agenda of the meetings are posted on the SBA bulletin board located outside the SBA office on the main floor of the School and on the SBA web site. Students who wish to place an item on the agenda should submit it to an SBA representative at least one day in advance of the meeting.
      
      The SBA sponsors several events during the academic year including the Barristers Ball, the annual fall semester fall softball league, various social events and the selection of the Faculty Member of the Year. Students may purchase special Saint Louis University School of Law t-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, coffee mugs and other items from the SBA.
      
      
   2. Other Organizations
      
      All organizations, with the exception of the Student Bar Association, are required to register with the Interim Associate Dean of Student Services in order to be considered eligible for funding from the University or the use of any resources of the School of Law. No organization shall select its membership solely on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or status as a veteran.
      
      The Student Organization Handbook collects various law school and university policies and procedures applicable to student organizations. The Handbook can be found on the law school website. Because no Handbook can address every situation, students should work closely with the Interim Associate Dean, or her designee, as they pursue their organization’s goals and objectives.
