Overview
In this update to her original course, attorney Samantha Harris provides an overview of the unique setting of campus judicial proceedings, addressing the role an attorney might play in helping a student accused of sexual misconduct obtain a fair hearing on campus.
Attorneys asked to assist in such cases may wonder why colleges are handling these cases to begin with, and may be uncertain of what assistance can be provided in this extrajudicial setting. While college judiciaries are not courts of law, students - particularly those at public universities - are entitled to some measure of due process, which campus courts do not always provide.
Learning Objectives:
- Assess an overview of campus sexual misconduct proceedings
- Break down the legal and regulatory framework within which colleges are expected to adjudicate claims of sexual assault on campus
- Discuss recent judicial developments relating to due process in campus proceedings
- Appreciate the nuances of assisting an accused student in on-campus proceedings

This is, by far, the most informative CLE I have taken via Lawline.
Wonderful course!
Clear and well structured with current case examples.
Samantha Harris was absolutely fabulous! (And no, I don't know her.) She gave a great overview, got into depth on important due process issues, and gave me a framework for handling these types of cases. I've never done one because I've been too concerned I would screw it up, but her call to pro bono representation of these students really spoke to me. Thank you, to you and to her! -- Debra Reece Johnson, Arkansas
