Judicial Branch

The Judicial Branch is charged with interpreting laws, applying them to cases, and ensuring compliance with all SGA governing documents. The Judicial is composed of the Attorney General, Prosecutor(s), Public Defender(s), and the Supreme Court.  

The Attorney General advises the Government on all Judicial affairs and prosecutes violators of the SGA Constitution, Legislation, and other regulations. They also oversee the legal representatives (Prosecutor and Public Defender).   

The Supreme Court moderates the balance between the Executive and Legislative branches. The Court has original jurisdiction of any case referred to it by the Senate or the UTEP Dean of Students and has original jurisdiction over decisions made during election seasons. All judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court.
