Honor Code

The Elon University School of Law Honor Code, initially adopted in February 2009 and as subsequently amended, applies to all Elon Law students. Its jurisdiction extends to all law school-related endeavors undertaken by students enrolled in Elon Law, as well as when an Elon Law student identifies himself or herself as an Elon Law student. As a condition to continuing as an Elon Law student, each student entering Elon Law agrees to be bound by this Code by signing an agreement. Students should familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code. The text of the Code and an Honor Code Violation Report Form are available here.

The implementation and success of the Honor Code rests with every law student. The Code prohibits: (a) Academic Dishonesty; (b) Stealing; (c) Vandalism; (d) Lying; (e) Plagiarism; (f) Technology Violation; (g) Obtaining an Unfair Advantage; and (h) Abusing the Code. If a student is unsure of the scope of this Code or its applicability to a particular activity, it is the responsibility of the student to seek guidance from the Honor Council. The Honor Council is responsible for the administration of the procedures set forth in the Code and for the interpretation of the Code.
