Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures at the Law School

Two basic kinds of incidents may require review and, in some cases, discipline. There are, first, complaints by an individual student against a questionable form of academic treatment or involvement by a faculty member, and second, behavior or uses of language that appear to step beyond the established bounds of academic decorum and appear to threaten or arbitrarily dismiss either a collective group in our midst or seriously undermine basic understandings and recognized standards of conduct within our community.

For the Procedures for Student Discipline at the Law School, click the attached file below (Adobe PDF Reader software required).
