This is achieved through innovative events, both independent and in partnership with other student organizations at the College of Law, collaboration with faculty and administration, and involvement with the legal field, locally and at-large.
ARTICLE III—MEMBERSHIP
1. Membership Requirements:
a) SBA membership shall be limited to currently enrolled FSU College of Law students. SBA offers two tiers of membership:

Gold Membership. Gold membership is voluntary and priced pursuant to a vote by the Executive Board. Gold membership may be purchased by a current law student. Gold membership may be purchased on a semesterly, annual, or complete basis. Gold membership is non-refundable, unless the purchaser has transferred, unenrolled, or is otherwise a non-current member of the FSU Law student body. Students under these conditions wishing to receive a refund must communicate this desire to the Executive Board. If not set to expire on a semesterly or annual basis, Gold membership expires upon graduation. Benefits of Gold membership include those pursuant to ART. III (3)(a) and those prescribed by the Executive Board.

c) The written notice must at minimum contain the date of the Board’s initial vote, the grounds for revocation, any factual allegations which may by themselves or considered together constitute the grounds for revocation, the time and date of the revocation hearing, and the student’s right to address the Board at the revocation hearing to offer any relevant defense prior to the Board’s vote on revocation. The student must be notified in writing at least 72 hours before the revocation hearing.
d) A 2/3 vote for revocation by the Board is required to revoke a student’s membership. Following a vote to revoke membership, the student must be provided with details regarding their right to appeal set forth in paragraph (f).
e) Upon a vote to revoke a student’s membership, the membership will be revoked for one academic year (fall, spring, summer).

Tailgate-Oct. 4th
URGENT-ISH: We don’t wanna let tailgate slip through the cracks before Semi. Planning might also require a little more detail this year considering we and Miami are actually good. A couple of items to note:
PARKING SPOTS: Do we have any leads on this? Who helped us out last year? I can help if needed but we need to get ahead on this due to likely higher demand.
GENERATOR: Callari, can we ask your friends if we can use their generator again this year? If not all good we just need to know early so we can adjust.
