[WSBAPT] Off Topic - Student Rights at University

[Paul Grant]

It seems like I only have "off-topic" questions lately.... so sorry!


Client's child was arrested for a felony charge and school (state
university) immediately imposed an interim suspension.  See WAC
516-21-260.  University has student make appointment with Dean to
"explain" why they believe the interim suspension should be removed so the
student can return to classes (and it's finals week just to make it all
that more fun).  So, in my mind, we have a felony charge, student lawyer's
up, then we have a state-actor demanding for the student to give
testimony... I am going to the Dean meeting with student, any thoughts of
what I should expect or be concerned about.  First issue that comes to
mind is that any conversation can be available for the prosecutor so
student makes no admissions to the issues at hand.


This is SO not my area of law but for reasons I will not state here I am
unable to walk away from representing this student.


Any wisdom is greatly appreciated.  Please respond off list so we do not
clog up everyone's email with this issue.
