Subjects
*LEGAL status of students, *DUE process of law, *SCHOOL discipline -- Law & legislation, *STUDENT suspension -- Law & legislation, *LEGISLATIVE hearings, *MEDIATION, GOSS v. Lopez (Supreme Court case)
Abstract

Suspension is the most common form of discipline in our schools. In some cases students facing suspension are removed from school for an extended period of time or referred for expulsion based on the findings made at the student's suspension hearing. Nevertheless, students have no legal right to have counsel participate in, or advocate at, suspension hearings. Additionally, schools for the most part do not offer students alternatives to suspension, such as mediation sessions or other programs designed to allow students to complete school or community work while on suspension. This Note discusses the problems associated with school suspension and suspension hearings. It also explains why providing students with legal advocates at suspension hearings will help promote due process and facilitate better decision making on the part of the student. Finally, it advocates for mediation as an alternative to suspension and suspension hearings, as research suggests that mediation would reduce suspension rates and the costs associated therewith.

Abstract

We often advise clients who are understandably uncertain in the face of the litigation frenzy surrounding Title IX sexual harassment cases to abide by the Golden Rule of protecting a student's safety above all else. That doesn't mean you ignore other people's rights, but if it comes down to protecting a student you legitimately believe is in danger versus potentially violating someone's rights, you protect the student.
