Student Bar Association - University of Wisconsin Law School

The SBA is lead by an Executive Committee, consisting of a President, VP Academic Affairs, VP Community Affairs, VP DEI, VP Public Service, Secretary, and Treasurer. Students who serve as SBA class representatives are members of one of three committees overseen by a corresponding SBA Vice President: Academic Affairs Committee, Public Service Committee, and Community Affairs. The DEI committee of the SBA consists of advisors appointed by LEO and affinity student organizations to provide insight and input into SBA activities. 

The SBA arranges social events for the law school including a semi-formal ("Dean's Cup Bash") and formal ("Barristers' Ball") dance events and weekly social gatherings at local bars and restaurants. In the fall, SBA holds the Dean's Cup Tournament, an intramural competition between the 1L, 2L, and 3L classes. SBA also organizes blood drives and public service events, wellness weeks, and other events during the Fall and Spring semesters. 

SBA provides funding to other student organizations on campus through a temporary committee called the Budget Oversight Funding Committee (BOFC), composed of the SBA Treasurer and two SBA members from each class. It meets early in the fall semester to consider student organization funding applications and listen to request presentations. The BOFC prepares recommendations to present to the general SBA at a special budget meeting where the budget and student organization distributions are finalized.
