Overview

The core of the UJC consists of 33 Representatives elected from the 13 undergraduate and graduate schools of the University for one-year terms beginning April 1. Each school elects a minimum of two Representatives and gains one additional representative for every 1,500 students. Currently, all schools have two Representatives, except for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences which elects three, and the College of Arts and Sciences which elects eight. Representatives serve as judges during UJC trials and are responsible for Committee policy and procedure.

An autonomous subcommittee of the UJC, the First Year Judiciary Committee (FYJC) hears all cases of alleged offenses by first year students in the first year living areas. Its procedures and jurisdiction closely mirror that of its parent body, the UJC. The FYJC consists of 12 FYJC Representatives chosen from among the first year class. The committee is an excellent way for first year students to become involved in the University community, to take an active role in the judicial system, and to experience student self-governance first-hand.
