Each student is a member of the Student Bar Association (SBA), which is an affiliate of the Law Student Division of the American Bar Association.  Students may also join the Law Student Division of the ABA directly.  The Association has been organized to promote educational and social activities among the students and to provide a means by which they may participate in the governance of the Law School and the University.  

Three to five students from each class, depending on class size, are elected by the class to serve on the SBA Board of Governors.  The Board of Governors of the SBA serves as a liaison between the faculty and administration and the student body, with board members serving on several internal Law School committees and also on committees of the University at large.  The Student Bar Association functions as an umbrella organization coordinating the activities of other student organizations.
