• How do I submit a request for funds from the SBA?

  To submit a request, please send an email to the SBA Treasurer. Your email must include: (1) What the funds are to be used for; (2) Who the funds will be used on; and (3) An exact amount of funding. Without this information, we cannot process your request.

• Will the SBA reimburse for travel to conferences, competitions, and other events?

  Yes, with some limits. Per the SBA Bylaws, Art. VI, sec. (C)(6) members can receive reimbursement for up to 2/3rds of expenses or $250, whichever is less. Expenses must be pre-approved by the board.  See the bylaws for more details.

• When and where does the SBA meet?

  Student Bar Association meetings are held every three weeks on Sunday evenings from 7–8 pm. These meetings are open to the general student body. SBA meetings are held via Zoom.
