Navigating the complex process of student disciplinary proceedings requires in-depth knowledge of both institutional regulations and Georgian legislation. Legal Sandbox Georgia provides reliable legal representation for students at all levels of education. Our mission is to protect students' rights, ensure procedural fairness, and strive for just and proportionate outcomes. When a student's future is in question due to allegations of misconduct, our experienced lawyers offer critical support based on the Georgian laws "On General Education" and "On Higher Education."
The initiation of disciplinary proceedings against a student should not restrict their right to participate in the educational process, except in cases provided for by the charter and internal regulations of the higher education institution, if it poses a threat to the rights, health, property, and safety of others. We provide legal representation at all disciplinary hearings and ensure that the higher education institution fully protects the student's rights.
It is a fundamental right of a student to be heard and to present their position in a fair and impartial environment. We ensure that our clients have the opportunity to effectively respond to all evidence, address the allegations against them, and present their own arguments and positions. Our legal services also include the critical process of appealing unfair disciplinary measures, disproportionate disciplinary sanctions, and challenging final assessments.
Our team thoroughly and meticulously reviews any decision made by the disciplinary committee/board to ensure it is lawful and well-founded. In the event of an unfavorable outcome, we are prepared to appeal the decision to the relevant appellate body or court.
