D. Advisor: A student charged with a violation will be allowed, if he or she so requests, the presence in all proceedings of an advisor, chosen from the student body or faculty of the Mailman School. Note, however, that the Honor Board process is not a legal proceeding. Lawyers are not permitted to attend the initial determination meeting or full Honor Board hearing (but nothing shall prohibit the student from consulting a lawyer). No one other than members of the Honor Board, those directly involved in a case, and their designated advisors, will be present at any meeting or hearing. All participants in meetings and hearings will be reminded that Honor Board proceedings are strictly confidential and should not be discussed with individuals who are not formally involved in the process.
