Auditor

At the beginning of each academic year, the Bachelor–at–Law and Diploma students elects an Auditor who assembles a committee with specific positions designated to oversee fundraising for the LSDSI social activities and sport events.

The Auditor, as well as convening committee meetings, hosts an Inaugural Address each year that is often chaired by a judge of the Superior Courts.
