Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4696245, member: 405"] Yes, students sit in judgment of other students, protected by a "legal" system at the university that won't allow lawyers to represent students. I had a Chinese student with very limited English skills ask me once to represent her in an expulsion proceeding. She was accused of violating student code because she wouldn't disclose a patentable idea that she was working on for an engineering class, to allow other students to work on it with her. Of course, this would have risked her patent, or allowed others to share in it, which she didn't want. They would not even allow me in the room when the hearing took place, and she was kicked out of school. [/QUOTE]
