Mission: The University Of Dayton School Of Law’s Student Bar Association is the sole representative voice of the Law School student body. The SBA is the student government here at UDSL and serves as a conduit to help facilitate the expression and representation of the student body. The SBA Board Members serve as representatives of the student body to the faculty and administration of the Law School.  The SBA consists of an executive board, officers from each class, and two ABA representatives. The ABA representatives advance the goals of UDSL through their participation with the American Bar Association Law Student Division. All Board Members are elected annually and serve one term, with the exception of the ABA representatives who serve two year staggered terms. 

Every law student at UDSL is a member of the SBA and has a voice. The SBA allocates funds to each student organization group according to member participation. Student groups are encouraged to coordinate academic, cultural, philosophical, and social events and may receive additional funding from the SBA upon request and a Board member vote. The SBA also promotes numerous social functions in addition to co-sponsoring various educationally enriching programs within the school and community. 

The SBA plays a significant role in the following events:  Dean’s Classic, Halloween Party, Kessler Golf Outing, Thanksgiving Dinner, Santa Shop, 2L’s Halfway Party, Diversity Fest, Pig Roast, Barrister’s Ball, and Graduation, to name a few. The SBA meets bi-monthly or upon request and meetings are open to all law students.
