THE UNIVERSITY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
The University Judiciary Committee is the student-run judiciary body of the University of Virginia and is authorized to investigate and adjudicate alleged violations of the University’s Standards of Conduct.
The Committee consists of twenty-seven Representatives elected from the thirteen undergraduate and graduate schools of the University for one-year terms beginning April 1. Each school elects two Representatives, except for the College of Arts and Sciences which elects three. Representatives serve as judges during University Judiciary Committee trials and are responsible for committee policy and procedure.

Recent Case Statistics
During the spring 2023 semester, the UJC adjudicated 14 cases involving 10 students and 4 student organizations. Of these, all were heard by the UJC and none were heard by the FYJC. Among organizational cases, 2 involved FOA organizations, the University's designation for social Greek-letter fraternities and sororities, 1 involved a Contracted Independent Organization (CIO), and 1 involved a Special Status Organization (SSO). Among all cases, 3 were adjudicated via Hearing Panel rather than by trial. The UJC continues to hear cases regularly with 6 pending cases and additional statistics will be published again at the close of the fall 2023 semester. A sixteen-page report detailing all case data including an organizational case report from the spring 2023 semester is available on the Statistics tab.
