No attorney who is not also a full-time member of the Syracuse University or SUNY ESF faculty, staff, or student body will be permitted to participate in the judicial process on behalf of the complainant or the accused student, except where criminal or civil proceedings are also pending.

When criminal or civil proceedings are pending, both the complainant and the accused student may be advised by an attorney, but the individual parties remain primarily responsible for conducting their own presentations.

Attorneys for the complainant and the accused student, when permitted to participate, are limited to the role of the procedural advisor described in the current Judicial System Handbook.

Any attorney who fails to conform his or her behavior to these requirements will be removed from the proceedings and barred from acting as a procedural advisor in future University Judicial System proceedings. In such circumstances the hearing board will determine whether to proceed with the hearing without the presence of the procedural advisor or to forward the case to the Director of Judicial Affairs for resolution before a hearing officer.
