College Campus

Higher Education Disciplinary Defense

Student conduct code violations can result in sanctions, ranging from eviction from the university or college, interim suspensions, suspensions and expulsion even when the violations of the student conduct code do not result in criminal charges. In Israel, almost all institutions of higher learning have their own set of student disciplinary guidelines and handbooks. When faced with student conduct code violations, like plagiarism, students are generally confused regarding the procedure and their various rights under the institution's rules and guidelines. In fact, many students elect to enter into "plea bargains" with the institution, without being fully appraised of their rights. These so called "plea bargains" can sometimes be very harsh leaving a permanent record for the student.  Our firm has the experience at helping our clients and their families navigate through disciplinary process. Whether you need assistance in the negotiation stages to arrive at a fair plea bargain or whether you wish to attempt to clear your name through a full scale hearing, we have the experience and knowledge to assist.
