class representative

Elected peer advocate

A class representative is a student elected or appointed to speak on behalf of their classmates, typically serving as a liaison between students and teachers or school administration.

In educational settings, the role involves gathering feedback, voicing concerns, and sometimes organizing class activities.

The term also appears in legal contexts, where a class representative is the named plaintiff who brings a lawsuit on behalf of a larger group of similarly affected people in class action litigation.
