Has there ever been an instance during your time at UTM when you had a question about a university policy or a law that you just did not understand?

We all face questions like this each day, since university policies and laws from local, state and federal levels govern nearly every action that we do as citizens and as students.

The UTM Student Judiciary is giving the student body an opportunity to come and find out the answers to any questions that you, the student, might have about the rules and laws that govern us as students and as citizens in Weakley County.

The SGA Student Judiciary is hosting a Judiciary Forum at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28 in UC 111. This is immediately before the SGA Senate meeting. This forum will feature speakers from the UTM Public Safety Office, Student Affairs, Computer Services and the Weakley County General Sessions Judge Tommy Moore.

These individuals will answer audience questions on a variety of topics that are covered by university policy and the outside law.

If you are unclear on what is meant by “acceptable computer usage” or “disciplinary sanctions”, this is your chance to come and find out firsthand from those that are in the role of law enforcement.

If you are unsure what is the law for underage drinking or the procedure for handling a speeding ticket, this is your opportunity to come and find out.

No question is too trivial or too brief to be asked in this forum, since the rule of law covers us all and nearly every detail of our life.

This is a unique opportunity for you, since you never know when you might have a question on the rules or your legal rights under the law or if a time will ever come when you wished you had known ahead of time.

Everyone is encouraged to come and attend this forum, ask questions and learn more about the law and your rights.
