New Authors

Thanks for all the feedback I have received.  To make this a more functional idea, I have changed it from just my space to a space where all SBA E-Board members can post.  Starting with this post, the author will sign the bottom so that you know who it is.

For those who might not know, the SBA E-Board is as follows:

President - Ben Connors

VP - Sandy Budd

Treasurer - Amanda Harber

Secretary - Chad Sweeting

Good luck to all with the second half of this semester,

-Sandy

Hunter Moot Court Bailiffs

The Hunter Moot Court Competition still needs bailiffs for the Spring arguments.  This is a great opportunity, especially for 1Ls thinking of participating next year.  The benefits of helping out far outweigh the minimal time requirement.  If you have any questions I can put you in contact with people who helped out last year so you can get a better idea of what volunteering will require.

If you would like to participate, please email me (email to the right) and I will pass your interest along to the appropriate parties.

Thank you.

SBA Council Meeting 2/15/09

Notes from the SBA Council Meeting

1. Discussion - Raise in Student Fees

Last Spring, the student body voted to drop a $10 yearbook fee (because there is no yearbook anymore).  The idea has been brought forth to reinstate that fee as an addition to the student fee (not earmarked for a yearbook).  This would raise the SBA operating budget approximately $12,000/year.  The Council discussed the issue last meeting and will be voting next meeting on whether to put a referendum on this Spring election ballot to reinstate this fee.  If you have any thoughts, please speak to your elected representative before Sunday March 1.

2. NJ Appellate Division and Supreme Court Arguments

Arguments will be held in the Moot Court Room on the following dates:

A. NJ Appellate Division - Monday, Feb. 23

B. NJ Supreme Court - Monday, Mar. 9

Ticketing and other information will follow.  This is a great opportunity to see oral arguments right in the comfort of Camden.

Next Meeting: March 1, 2006 6PM, Moot Court Room

Meeting with the Deans

The SBA EBoard, minus Gonzalo, plus Dave Tauster, had a very successful meeting with Deans Baker, Ferzan, and Solomon last Wednesday (Feb. 11).  We covered a wide variety of topics including all the issues which arose from our open forum earlier this semester.

Dean Solomon suggested these meetings become a monthly occurrence.  This marks a great step forward in the student/administration relationship and opens lines of communication which have not been fully utilized.
