No further writing is permitted. A student may, after time is called, write the necessary identifying information on the covers of blue books, and number the blue books, but only at the proctor's desk while the proctor is watching. Any other writing in or on the blue books after time is called is forbidden. If, after initial investigation, the Associate Dean determines that a charge is not warranted, then the information is retained until the students involved graduate and then discarded. See Policy, 2.2.
Law students are adults.
They have reached the stage in life when dishonesty can no longer be forgiven as a youthful indiscretion. Law school is professional school and law students are expected to act honorably, as befits those who seek to enter an honorable profession. Permanent retention of records reflects the serious nature of academic dishonesty. It also provides an appropriate deterrent to academic dishonesty. This point was extensively discussed at the time the Policy was adopted.
