SBA/Fair Housing Legal Clinic Scholarship

Need work for the summer while gaining valuable work experience? The SBA is offering a $2,000 scholarship for any student interested in working at the JMLS Fair Housing Legal Clinic this summer. This scholarship is open to all students. This is a great way to gain court experience, work with clients and gain insight into how a firm operates.

This scholarship was raised from the proceeds of the SBA Student/Faculty Auction. The SBA would like to thank everyone that donated and bid on items at the auction.

Oh What a Night!

Thank you to all the students, faculty and staff that joined the SBA at the Barrister's Ball for a night of grace and elegance. It was great to see everyone in a different environment and having a great time. Thank you again for making this such an enjoyable night.

Have a Great Spring Break

The SBA would like to wish everyone a fun and safe Spring Break. Watch the Up & Coming when you get back for more activities and events sponsored by the SBA including socials, a softball tournament and elections for the SBA Executive Board. Until then...happy traveling.
