Firm Prevails in Title IX Appeal

In May 2018, the Firm prevailed in a Title IX case on behalf of a student accused of violating the student conduct code at a major southern California university.  After receiving an unfavorable report from the university’s Title IX investigator, the Firm convinced a university appeals panel to reverse the investigator’s findings on every element of the alleged violation as an unreasonable finding based on the evidence presented to the investigator during the investigation.  The Firm’s client was found innocent of all charges and the investigation was terminated.
