In August, 2013, North Carolina became the first state to
pass a law that allows college students in North Carolina who face
administrative disciplinary hearings to have defense attorneys present at said
hearing. The Students and Administration
Equality Act (N. C. G. S. §116-40.11) evens what had
been an unbalanced playing field. The
result of these hearings could result in punishment as severe as expulsion;
yet, before North Carolina’s groundbreaking legislation, students attended and
were tried without representation while experienced university administrators
presented evidence against them.
The attorneys at McCullers & Whitaker, PLLC, are
seasoned trial attorneys who have spent the past ten (10) years representing
