Judicial Branch

 
 

The Judicial Branch of the Holy Cross Student Government Association thrives on finding reasonable solutions in disputes within the auspices of HC SGA.

Modeled upon the American system of jurisprudence, the power of the Judicial Branch resides in the Judicial Council, a body of seven members appointed by the SGA Co-Chairs and approved by the Senate.

The Judicial Branch is committed to a fair and equitable hearing for both sides. It serves as the decision maker in any disputes regarding Recognized Student Organizations, the SGA Constitution, and the SGA Bylaws.

As mandated by the SGA Constitution, the Judicial Council has the ability to defer cases to the Senate, which would then preside over said case.

Also an active part of the Judicial Branch is the Election Committee. As the name implies, the Election Committee hosts the annual SGA elections.
