<p>Just an FYI for parents and students… on legal issues</p>
<p>IF - by some odd chance - your student runs into a legal problem - especially if out of state - speeding ticket, DUI, assault, arrest etc… and needs legal advise and/or information for that state - MANY schools have an attorney on retainer for students to talk to and be advised by - at no charge - tho they will not take a case - they will assist and advise the student on the best way to manage the situation, will provide the information needed regarding the charges and possible outcome - and even how to minimize charges at times, progress thru the legal system of that state, assist in getting the correct attorney - if needed - and be supportive to the student. The laws in every state are different - one cannot assume the home state laws will apply.</p>
<p>Many times this is provided thru the Student Affairs office of the school or the Student Government program - or the information can be found thru the Chancellors office - they can direct you to the right person.</p>
<p>Just good info to file away - a just in case file.</p>
