The College Judicial Board exists as a means of ensuring that students at Smith College uphold the standards for student ethics and conduct outlined in the
Smith College Student Handbook. The Board hears cases of alleged infractions of non-academic rules (academic infractions are handled by the Academic Honor Board) and makes decisions about the outcomes of cases.
The Board is comprised of 16 students (8 juniors/8 seniors) who hear cases in teams of 5 members constituting a hearing board. Every board is assisted by an advisor who is a member of the student affairs staff. The Judicial Board uses the code of social conduct and policies of the college to evaluate the cases before it.
The Code of Social Conduct expects that each student's behavior and actions will contribute to a community characterized by individual integrity, respect, and a concern for the implications and repurcussions of student behavior. Some behaviors are particularly problematic, and these are summarized in handbook under
Prohibited Conduct. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the examples provided by this section, but to be aware that this list does not constitute an exhaustive or complete list of prohibited conduct.
