Guarding Your Rights in Massachusetts Academic Misconduct Investigations
Because academic investigations are typically conducted privately and internally, you will often not be guaranteed the same due process rights that you would in a criminal trial matter. However, we are familiar with how to assert and enforce the rights of our clients.
Types of Academic Misconduct for Students & Faculty
Our Beverly academic misconduct attorneys can assist you with cases involving:
- Abuse of information technology. This category encompasses a number of offenses, including the physical theft of a learning institution’s hardware, software, or digital proprietary information as well as inappropriate use of a learning institution’s equipment. We are familiar with cybercrimes and can assist in the defense of both students and faculty in these matters.
- Bullying and hazing allegations. Hazing is a serious offense that can also involve criminal charges. Our firm can work with individual students and student organizations that have been accused of engaging in hazing or targeted harassment.
- Domestic violence and threats. Massachusetts vigorously prosecutes domestic violence cases. These offenses can threaten an academic career even if the offense did not occur on college or university property. We can represent students and faculty members charged with domestic violence in both criminal proceedings and any investigations conducted by an academic institution.
- Drug and alcohol offenses. Many Massachusetts colleges, universities, and other academic institutions maintain strict drug and alcohol policies. Our legal team can work to protect your future and defend your rights in these cases.
- Faculty professional fitness committee proceedings. If your fitness to serve on an academic institution’s faculty has been called into question, you will need effective legal representation to protect yourself and your career. We work with faculty members who are subject to these proceedings for both disciplinary and medical reasons.
