School of Law Statement on Personal Responsibility

Members of the Law School community are expected to conduct themselves in ways that will reflect credit upon themselves, the School of Law, the University, and the legal profession. Students aspiring to the Bar are required to behave appropriately, to respect the rights and privileges of others, and to abide by the law and by the regulations of the University and the School of Law.

A student may be temporarily suspended from one or more classes if such action is necessary to protect members of the Law School community, visitors, or school property or to avoid serious interference with the educational mission of the Law School. Students whose conduct does not violate the Honor Code but nevertheless interferes with the academic environment, casts serious doubt on the judgment or maturity of a student, or subjects the School to potential embarrassment will be counseled by the Office of Career and Student Development. Written record of any private reprimand shall remain in the student’s file while the student is in school.
