Serve in the Judicial Panel Pool or on the Board on Judicial Affairs. The Student Judicial Charter of 1997 sets forth the key components of the student judicial system at Stanford. A crucial aspect of the system is the involvement of community members—students, staff and faculty—in the student judicial process.
Faculty, staff, students and other members of the Stanford community are encouraged to consult with the office as needed. To set up an appointment, please email us or call 650.725.2485.
