Application Process
- Description of the Judiciary. The SGA is composed of three branches: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. The Judiciary has jurisdiction over all matters relating to the SGA. Thus, it interprets the Constitution and Bylaws and serves as the final avenue of appeal for all matters relating to the JHU SGA. Some tasks of the Judiciary include drafting non-binding advisory opinions, entertaining oral arguments, authoring opinions, and ruling on issues regarding SGA-funded clubs. In order to be eligible to serve on the Judiciary, you must maintain a 2.5 overall GPA and be an undergraduate student in the Homewood Divisions of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences or the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering throughout your term of office. Provided that Justices remain undergraduates of KSAS or WSE, they shall serve their term until resignation or graduation.
