  In a covariant model where constituent quarks and diquarks interact through
quark exchange, the Bethe-Salpeter equation in ladder approximation for octet
and decuplet baryons is solved. Quark and diquark confinement is thereby
effectively parametrised by choosing appropriately modified propagators.
Numerical results for the baryon masses are presented. In a second step
electromagnetic, weak and pionic currents are coupled to the bound state
according to Mandelstam's technique. The arising matrix elements are evaluated
in a generalised impulse approximation and observable form factors are
extracted.
