Artificial intelligence has been in the headlines a lot recently, mostly because of the impressive things it can do. You've seen the deep fake images. Heck, computers are driving cars these days and helping perform surgery. Maybe you've even considered using an AI program to write one of your papers. It's OK, we won't tell.

If you're thinking some online program out there can defend you from a disciplinary charge, though, think again. Schools take misconduct extremely seriously. You might coax an AI program to type up your response to an accusation, but that's not going to get you very far. You need someone on your side who knows what you're up against, who has real-world experience defending clients, and who can stand beside you from start to finish. You need someone from the Lento Law Firm.

The Complexities of University Judicial Cases

Students, and even attorneys, sometimes make the mistake of thinking university judicial cases are simple matters, that they involve nothing more strenuous than visiting with a Dean, and that punishments rarely go beyond warnings.

The reality is that they can be extraordinarily complex. At most schools, even minor allegations lead to full investigations followed by formal hearings. There are complicated rules and procedures for getting through these processes. At a minimum, a proper defense involves interpreting finer points in the law, analyzing the precise wording of school policies, developing arguments, collecting and organizing evidence, coming up with witness questions, and—yes—filing some documents. You have to know your rights, but you also have to know how to use them effectively.

And oh, by the way, your entire future could be on the line. Many offenses are punished with suspension or dismissal. Even a warning, though, can have long-term consequences if it's noted on your transcript.

Beyond all the concrete tasks an attorney can perform, they provide a face for your defense. They can be a weighty presence during investigative meetings and hearings, reminding faculty and administrators to respect your rights. They can monitor proceedings and develop appeals strategies if an appeal becomes necessary. And they can offer support throughout the process, helping you deal with the stress that always accompanies these kinds of ordeals.

No AI program can do all of that. In fact, most attorneys aren't even equipped to do all that. You need an attorney who understands how colleges and universities operate, someone who knows educational law and can use it to protect your rights. You need someone from the Lento Law Firm.
