VI. Student conduct issues

  1. University Student Code of Conduct governs. All students enrolled at the Law School are subject to the University's Student Code of Conduct (Student Code of Conduct). Issues involving Law School student behavior that potentially violates the Student Code of Conduct (including without limitation allegations of plagiarism and cheating) will be handled in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
  2. Reporting to Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. Issues involving Law School student behavior that potentially violates the Student Code of Conduct should be reported to the Law School's Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
  3. Reporting to bar admission authorities. Behavior by any Law School student that is found to violate the Student Code of Conduct will also be reviewed by the Dean or the Dean's designee to determine the Law School's obligations under the applicable legal ethics rules, which may require reporting such behavior to the bar admission authority for a jurisdiction to which a student (or former student) has applied for admission. The Law School's obligations with regard to bar admission authorities will be determined by reference to applicable legal ethics and jurisdiction-specific bar admission rules, which may or may not parallel the Student Code of Conduct.
  4. Serious Misconduct.  If a student is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or admits to the commission of a misdemeanor or felony (whether on or off campus) while enrolled at the Law School that calls into question the student's character or fitness to engage in the practice of law, the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs can request that the Dean or the Dean's designee schedule a hearing before the Student Disciplinary Panel to consider the student's fitness to continue.
