About The Program:

How college sexual harassment and assault cases are investigated and adjudicated in New Jersey, and throughout the country, varies. In New Jersey alone, there are over 25 major colleges and universities, each with its own code of conduct/disciplinary proceeding process. The impact the process/proceeding has on each of the parties is significant.

This program will explore some of the procedural concerns in college sexual harassment and assault cases, with a focus on the legal and individual interests that are considered when a complainant comes forth. The legal landscape involving college sexual harassment and assault cases is continuously changing. Register today and gain insight into the wide ranging (and inconsistent) ways higher education institutions handle allegations of sexual assault and harassment. As an attendee, you’ll gain valuable insight into the most effective ways to help a client who may have been a victim, how to properly proceed to represent the client who is accused of wrongdoing, and the steps to take if you represent an institution.
