ASUCSB Judicial Council

The UCSB Associated Students Judicial Council serves as the judicial branch of the student government empowered to hear and resolve any cases under its legal jurisdiction.

About the Office

The Associated Students Judicial Council serves as the judicial branch of UCSB’s student government. As outlined in Article VII of the AS Legal Code, JC is responsible for interpreting and upholding the AS Legal Code, including all By-Laws and policies governing AS Boards, Committees, KCSB, and AS Business Services.

The Council

The Council hears and resolves cases within its jurisdiction, ensuring fair and equitable decisions. Operating independently from the Student/Faculty Commission on Student Conduct, JC is the final appellate body for all AS-related appeals, following formal hearing procedures outlined in the AS Legal Code.

Hearings

Once a petition is submitted, the Judicial Council will conduct a Preliminary Hearing at their next regularly scheduled mandatory meeting. The Council will review the petition and decide whether or not to hear the case. The formal hearing will occur not less than two (2) weeks from the time of preliminary hearing unless circumstances dictate otherwise.
