The governing authority within the University of North Dakota School of Law is vested in the dean and the faculty.  For purposes of this policy, the faculty consists of individuals who hold tenured and tenure-eligible appointments in the School of Law.

Students and staff of the School of Law are vested with the role of providing advice to the dean and faculty on all issues bearing on the institution and its people.  Matters may be referred to the faculty for its consideration by students and staff in accordance with procedures and practices adopted by each group for making such recommendations.  Consultation may also be initiated by the dean and faculty referring matters to students, staff, or both, for requested advice, with such referrals to be treated in accordance with the procedures and practices adopted by each group.  At least once each semester, the dean shall convene a School of Law assembly of faculty, staff, students, and administrators.
