Quick, Successful Defense Avoids Expulsion, Criminal Complaint

In November 2019, Attorney Wood represented a Northeastern University student in a university disciplinary proceeding, based on misconduct allegedly witnessed by university police. Moving very quickly because of an abbreviated timeframe, Attorney Wood prepared a defense that convinced the the Northeastern Student Conduct Board (SCB) not to expel the client. Instead, the SCB allowed the client to finish the semester, and provided a path to allow him to graduate on schedule with his classmates. Attorney Wood also convinced the Northeastern University Police Department not to refer the matter to the municipal criminal court.
