To best understand how to appeal a Title IX case in Idaho, it's good to have a brief understanding of what Title IX is. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that's intended, in part, to prevent and address campus sexual misconduct. If a party finds it necessary to appeal a Title IX finding and/or sanction at a college or university in Idaho, the appeal right's going to be available to all parties in the case, say, the accused and the accuser. The grounds would have to be referenced in the school's policies, many schools have similar, if not almost identical, appealable bases. For example, a disproportionate sanction, new evidence, a procedural defect or error.
The most important consideration is twofold, to make sure that the appeal itself is as strong and as effective as possible, and also to make sure that the person has a experienced attorney advisor helping them through the process when appealing a case.
