Judicial Advisory Commission

The Judicial Advisory Commission (JAC) is a department within the Judicial branch of Boston University Student Government that is primarily concerned with maintaining the physical and digital archives.

The JAC also works to consult with other departments within Student Government to provide a voice on judicial reviews and opinions, and publish bi-annual semester reports. These reports dive deep and discuss issues relevant to the actions of the JAC and Student Government as a whole. The JAC is composed of four Commissioners, who will serve until graduation.
