Questions
Can a Lawyer Appeal a Suspension or Expulsion After a Disciplinary Hearing?
Yes. Most schools provide an appeal process after a suspension or expulsion decision, but appeal deadlines are often short. An appeal usually focuses on specific errors, such as a procedural violation, new evidence, bias by a decision-maker, an unsupported finding, or a sanction that is disproportionate to the allegation.
Matthew Cohan and his team review the hearing record, the school’s written decision, disciplinary policies, and the available grounds for appeal. They prepare a focused appeal that explains how the error affected the outcome and why the school should reverse or reduce the sanction.
