Click here to learn about the current state of Title IX and how we can help if you are facing accusations.
Under the Title IX Final Rule, the burden is on schools to gather evidence in a Title IX case, not on the parties. That being said, a party, be it the complainant or the respondent, should not and cannot depend on the school to do so. Although it is the school's obligation to gather evidence for a person to achieve a favorable outcome in a Title IX case, that person has to take an incredibly proactive approach to pursue the case to address the matter that is.
Having an experienced attorney advisor in your corner from as early as possible in the process will help you best understand and navigate the process and will work towards trying to ensure a fair process and a favorable outcome including what would be appropriate and best in terms of evidence that would need to be prepared and submitted and presented for purpose of the case.
