Do I need a lawyer for a Carleton College conduct hearing?

In most cases, no. Carleton College's Student Conduct Council follows university policy, not the legal system. What you need is someone who understands how Carleton's specific process works and can help you prepare an effective case.

How quickly do I need to act after receiving a notice from Student Conduct Council?

Immediately. Carleton College sets strict deadlines for responding to allegations and filing appeals, often 5 to 10 business days from the date of the notice. Missing these windows eliminates procedural options that are otherwise available. Contact AdvocatED as soon as you receive any notice.

Can AdvocatED attend my Carleton hearing with me?

Most schools, including Carleton College, allow students to bring an advisor to conduct hearings. We will confirm exactly what Carleton's current policy permits and advise on how to have expert guidance in your corner, whether that means sitting with you at the hearing, preparing your opening statement, or conducting intensive pre-hearing preparation around the specific evidence in your case.

How does Carleton handle Title IX cases?

Title IX matters at Carleton College are generally handled by a Title IX office separate from general academic misconduct proceedings. Title IX cases have their own procedures, evidence standards, and timelines under federal regulations. If you are a respondent in a Title IX case, you should not conflate the process with a conduct case, and you should respond carefully to any notice you receive.

What if I already had my hearing and received an unfavorable decision?
