Student and Faculty Representation
Colleges and universities govern their student populations with student codes of conduct that prohibit certain behavior and ensure academic integrity. A violation of the code of conduct could result in suspension or expulsion from the school, and even a criminal prosecution. Every school has a different disciplinary process with different procedural rules that may require a written response to the allegations, a hearing, and an opportunity to appeal a final determination. Students require legal representation to ensure that the university is following its procedures and providing the student with due process, where applicable, as well as to advocate for the student during all phases of the disciplinary process.
