The SBA shall also encourage the initiation of educational programs in order to achieve and maintain a high standard of education at the College of Law. Finally, the SBA provides for association among students, faculty, and administration, promotes a close affiliation between students and members of the legal profession and pursues the high standard of professionalism necessary to excel in the legal community. Each law student is automatically a member of the SBA and has an opportunity to participate in the activities and responsibilities of the organization.
