The Judiciary Committee provides a recourse for members who disagree with each other or the decisions of house officers. This body is also responsible for considering house charge release requests and food release requests, and making recommendations to the house for voting. A member may contact the President at any time to request a Judiciary Committee hearing. These hearings are private, which enables the committee to hear sensitive cases. For example, a member who is requesting house charge release may not feel comfortable sharing their reasoning for needing to leave the house with the entire house at a house meeting. The Judiciary Committee can hear their case and make a recommendation to the house without revealing sensitive information.

From the Constitution

6.1.1. The Judiciary Committee is made up of all of the nine (9) Suite Managers, two (2) Vice Presidents. Unless otherwise specified in this Constitution, the committee shall be facilitated by the President. The facilitator has no vote, except in cases of a tie.

6.1.2. Hears cases of unresolved personal disputes, requests for referral, appeals of fines, and work disability.
