Sent on behalf of Lauren Winchell, Chief Justice of the Honor Council:

Dear 1Ls and 2Ls:

Honor Council elections are just around the corner!  This is a nomination process, not a campaign process. Keep in mind the seriousness and great honor of this position.  Please review the Honor Code, Section 21 of the Academic Regulations found here.

April 1 & April 2 – Nominate a member of your class (it can be yourself) into the ballot box in the lobby next to SBA elections.

The personal statements will be posted onto the On Legal Grounds blog.

  • If you do not attend the meeting, we will assume that you are not accepting your nomination.
  • If you notify Lauren Winchell at ldsprlck@memphis.eduprior to the meeting with a valid excuse for missing the meeting, your nomination position will be held.

April 14th, 15th, & 16th – Voting by class and section.

  • 2Ls will cast three votes
  • 1Ls will cast five votes
