Professionals, Bar None With automatic membership for every law student, the Law School student body is orga- nized as the Student Bar Association. Contrar) ' to the great majorit) ' of student bar associations throughout the nation ' s law schools, there are no member- ship dues. The governing body of SBA is the Board of Governors, which meets bi- weekly and is composed of 18 elected members. The SBA endeavors to carry out its objectives and contribute to the education of the law stu- dent by sponsoring programs that are both academic and extracurricular in nature. Through its Board of Governors, the Student Bar Association sponsors and super- vises programs that fall into three main categories: services, professional and social. Service programming provides such services as locker rentals. the Annual Blood Drive, profes- sor evaluations and mail ser- vices. Professional concessions include guest speakers, lecturers, seminars, student faculty poli- cy-making committees and mix- ers with various law firms. American Bar Association and State Bar Association services complete the list. Social activi- ties include Fall Ex-Parte, the Spring Fling, happy hours, final study breaks, and the Freshlaw Midterm Party. Oltkcrs: David Greenstone, President; Leigh Wilde, Secretary; Jeff Hagler, Vice-President; Grant Hagler, Special Assistant to the President. Not Pictured: David Peck, Treasurer.
