STUDENT BAR ASSOCIATION
The student governing body at John Marshall is the Student Bar Association. The Executive Board is elected annually and consists of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, ABA Representative, CBA Representative, ISBA Representative, and Evening Student Liaison. The Legislative body at John Marshall consists of delegates elected from class sections. Each student section elects two representatives to serve on the SBA per year. The SBA focuses on enhancing both communication and interaction among the students, faculty, deans and staff in the John Marshall community. This includes student/faculty/administration socials and open meetings.
The SBA hosts many events throughout the year. Each semester the Student Bar Association sponsors a Student Organization Day and a Book Sale as well as many other events. Additionally, each semester the 1L section representatives plan a fundraiser which benefits a charitable organization or cause of their choice. In the Spring, the SBA sponsors the Public Interest Auction which raises money to provide scholarships to students who will work in Public Interest positions during their summer break.

SBA MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
1L REGISTRATION and MENTOR REGISTRATION
The SBA runs a student adviser program for first semester students so that they may have a "contact person" of whom they may ask all sorts of questions while going through the first year of law school.
This program is a great opportunity for first years and 2L and 3L students to meet and get to know one another and to talk about their law school experiences. We have enjoyed great success with 1L students who registered becoming mentors in their second and third years.
Please follow the appropriate link above, fill out the information and keep an eye on your e-mail for dates and times to meet your mentor/1L.
DIVERSITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The John Marshall Law School has a rich tradition of dedication to encouraging diversity within our student body, faculty, and staff. In an effort to honor this commitment, the Diversity Affairs Committee was created during the 2006-2007 academic year. The Diversity Affairs Committee is a permanent committee of the Student Bar Association created by Constitutional Amendment. This Committee works to ensure that students from historically underrepresented groups are ensured a successful and rewarding experience at The John Marshall Law School.
