The Legislative Branch, composed of the Senate, is led by the Executive Vice President. Each class is represented by elected Senators whose terms last one year. Evening students and transfer students are also represented on the Senate. In addition, there are several at-large Senate seats for students wishing to represent the interests of the greater student body at 51²è¹ÝWCL.
The Senate proposes, considers, and votes on legislation. This includes approving the Student Bar Association Budget, chartering student organizations, amending the Constitution, and establishing the bylaws which govern SBA actions. The Senate typically meets every other week during the school year on Tuesday nights at 10:10pm in 51²è¹ÝWCL Room NT01. Please email sbavp@wcl.american.edu for the date of our next SBA meeting.
