Who Can Help If My School Failed to Follow Its Own Disciplinary Procedures?
A student defense lawyer can help when a school fails to follow its own handbook, code of conduct, hearing rules, or notice requirements. Procedural violations may include inadequate notice of the charges, refusal to allow relevant evidence or witnesses, a biased hearing panel, lack of access to the evidence, or failure to follow stated appeal procedures.
Matthew Cohan and his team review the school’s written policies alongside the facts of the case.
