仲議會作為浸大學生會的獨立司法機關,負責處理會內一切仲裁及詮釋會章事宜。作為學生會會內法治精神的把關者,本會一直秉持「仲以中貴,議唯義尊」的宗旨,捍衛會章精神,解決會內糾紛,彰顯公義;同時履行第三權的責任,節制會內四大權力架構,確保權力間相互分立制衡。
Acting as an independent arbitration and judicial body of the Students' Union, the Judicial Council is responsible for handling all conflict solving and law-interpretation matters with regard of the Students' Union Constitution and its by-laws. The judicial council is now recruiting a new batch of arbitrators who are critical minded and enthusiastic to make contribution to the substantial development of the Union.
「仲者,居中也」,為各仲裁員在仲裁案件時恪守的宗旨,即以中立客觀的角度,不偏不倚地獨立進行審訊,確保來自不同架構或組織和身分各異的會員能在會章面前得到公平和平等的待遇。「義」,即正義,即在仲裁時以正義為尊,以法治為本,彰顯公義。
2005年,學生會架構由幹事會、代表會兩者組成。司法權由作為立法機關的代表會行使,故一直有利益衝突之嫌。
同年,學生會架構進行重組,改設為幹事會、評議會、仲議會以及編輯委員會,實行四權分立,而司法權由仲議會獨立行使。但由於仲議會一直未夠法定人數,故司法權由評議會及聯席會議代行。
2015年,評議會通過委任新任仲裁員,仲議會亦因有足夠法定人數而正式成立,正式確立學生會四權分立。首任首席仲裁員由劉睿翹擔任。
2016年5月1日,仲議會處理第一件案件--就2016-2017年度第一次全民投票之投訴。

2017年,第五十屆仲議會任期開始,由曾穎琪連任首席仲裁員。任內仲議會共處理四件案件。分別為會章詮釋及選舉呈請。
2018年,第五十一屆仲議會由於未夠法定人數,再次出缺。
2019年,第五十二屆仲議會有足夠法定人數而重新運作,由鄭冠聰擔任首席仲裁員,任內仲議會共處理一件案件。
同年,仲議會首度處理學生會轄下組織之案件何俊諺對宋慶齡堂宿生會第四屆監察委員會及第十七屆幹事會。
2020年,《2019-2020 年度《香港浸會大學學生會會章》(仲議會及懲治條例)草案》獲全民投票通過,草案重新編制仲議會之條文,除了確立仲議會之懲治權,更將仲裁員的任期由兩年改為終身制直至學籍完結為止。新制下除了列明仲議會日常運作及仲裁會議的流程,終身制更有效承傳法律知識給予下一代。
同年,2020至2021年度仲議會由林圻燊擔任首席仲裁員,任內共處理三件案件,包括會章詮釋、轄下組織違章及司法覆核。
2021年,因應雷樂希對第五十三屆評議會案件,仲議會因應申請人要求而首次發出禁制令。
同年,仲議會將架設網站以便會員及其他使用者能夠查詢及了解仲議會的文件及現況,提高仲議會透明度。而網站亦能方便查閱過往之裁決書。
同年,2021至2022年度仲議會由鄧皓禧擔任首席仲裁員。
