Members of the Student Bar Association: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elections for the 2019-2020 Student Bar Association\nLeadership will begin soon! As students at Akron Law you are automatically\nmembers of the Student Bar Association (SBA). Therefore, you are all\nresponsible for electing who will serve on the executive board for SBA and,\nalso, who you would like to represent your respective class. This means that\nALL students may nominate and vote for the executive board positions; however,\nstudents may only nominate and vote for their own class representatives (i.e.,\na 1L may only vote for 1L class representatives, not any other class). Failure\nto follow this rule is an honor code violation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The executive board is composed of the president, vice-president,\ntreasurer, and secretary. To be eligible to run for an executive board\nposition you MUST have completed two full semesters of law school prior to the\ntime you will take office (not including the summer semester). Further, each\nclass (1L, 2L, 3L) will elect 4 class representatives. The person who receives\nthe most votes will be appointed the class president. Please note,\nelections for part-time and spring-start representatives will be held in the\nspring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SBA elections are a three-step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, all those who hope to be nominated for an\nexecutive board or class representative position\non SBA must get at least two<\/strong> nominations (you\nare able to nominate yourself). NOMINATIONS<\/strong>\nARE OPEN NOW<\/strong> and will close\non Thursday, April 18th at 6 p.m. <\/strong>You may only nominate representatives from your representative class.\nHowever, all classes can nominate qualified individuals for the executive board\npositions. Please visit the appropriate link below to place your\nnominations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, each individual who receives at least\ntwo nominations for a position will receive an email asking if they\nwould like to accept their nomination and run for the position.\nIf nominated for both a class representative and executive board position,\nyou may choose to run for both. That way, if you do not win the executive\nboard position, you remain in the running as a class representative. However,\nyou may NOT run for two executive board positions. If nominated for\nmore than one executive board position, you will have to choose which one to\naccept. A student must accept his or her nomination for a position via\nemail or the student will not be on the ballot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Third, all nominees for President will be invited to\nparticipate in an open forum with your classmates on Monday, April 22nd\nat 12:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m<\/strong>. in room\n180<\/strong> to briefly discuss why you would like the position and answer any\nquestions from your classmates. The final poll with all of the\ncandidates that have accepted their nominations will open on Monday,\nApril 22nd<\/strong>. The final poll will close on Thursday, April 25th\nat 6 p.m<\/strong>. Each student may only vote for a position once. Voting more\nthan once is an honor code violation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The person with the most votes for each position\nwill win. Each elected individual will receive an email\nnotification and their names and position will be displayed on\nthe announcement blog. The newly elected executive board will be contacted by\nthe current executive board that coming week regarding leadership\nsuccession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are the current executive board members and their\nemails.
