Being a law student at Syracuse University College of Law is more than just going to class, reading cases, and taking exams. At SUCOL we believe that students play a critical role in developing a legacy of service, leadership, and excellence at the College of Law. As such, it is important for students to take an active role in the decision making process which shapes the law school experience. From being apart of the many student organizations to being President of the Student Senate, there are endless possibilities for students who want to be involved, as well as lead among their peers.

The student Senate is comprised of elected Senators from each class, the officers of each class and the officers of the Senate. The Senate is the governing body of the Law School student body and student organizations. The Senate has the power to formulate policies, manage the affairs of the student body, and retains all powers prescribes by, and necessary for the proper execution of, those responsibilities as prescribed in the Constitution of the SUCOL student body. In addition to representing student views on important decisions, the Senate appoints student representatives to faculty committees and administers expenditure of a substantial budget. The student leadership of our student body sets the tone and pace of the many student organizations that exist within the College of Law.
