Representation culminates in attending pre-hearing meetings, serving as an advisor during hearings and assisting throughout the proceeding as required. Preparation and practice may help save your college future, make sure that you have her experience and training on your side.

What Makes us Special
Orlando Personal Injury Lawyer Heather Trick

Student Code of Conduct Hearings

Due to the rules associated with UCF’s Student Code of Conduct hearings, you are not entitled to formal representation at the hearing. You can act as your own advocate and question the officer or officers (usually from the University of Central Florida Police Department, the Orlando Police Department, or the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.)

Additionally, you will be required to answer the questions asked of you as if you were a witness in a formal trial. Sometimes the questions you ask or the answers you give can be the difference between winning your student code of conduct hearing and losing your hearing at UCF.

Let Jordan train you in that process just like he’s trained dozens of other students for the past 8 years so that you stand the best shot at your own hearing. Jordan can prepare and provide questions for witnesses that focus on beneficial information for your case.

He can help you create exhibits, compile documents and statutes to provide to the hearing officer and create outlines of statements for your defense. For anyone too nervous to be there by themselves, the rules do allow for an adviser to be there with you. While the adviser cannot speak for you on the record, Jordan can be there with you to advise you as the case presents itself.
