If you're the complainant in a Title IX case at a school or college in Mississippi, you need to fully understand the process the school will use to investigate the complaint involving sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. In light of the Title IX Final Rule, as a complainant, you need to have someone to represent you through the process, who's solely dedicated to protecting your rights and interest.
You need to make certain that the school does a full and fair and complete investigation, and thoroughly and appropriately evaluates the complaint to make certain that justice is obtained. It's critical to make certain that the school follows all Title IX rules, and if it does not do so, it's important to understand that action can be taken against the school to address such a concern as needed. Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the Title IX process and they should be involved from as early as possible in the case.
