Judicial Branch

The NDSU Student Court of Justice represents the Judicial Branch of Student Government. The Student Court consists of a panel of Associate and Assistant Justices led by the Chief Justice. Justices serve from the time of appointment to the completion of their studies at this university, resignation from the court, or recall by the Student Senate. Court vacancies are filled by student body president appointment when vacancies arise during the regular school year.

The Student Court has final jurisdiction on issues such as constitutional interpretation, constitutionality of Student Senate legislation; cases involving student body elections; cases involving the violation of the Student Body Constitution, Student Government Code or Student Senate legislation; and cases involving conflict with recognized student organizations. In addition, they have the power to issue injunctions or impose monetary fines in cases within its jurisdiction.
