About the Student Defender Program Student Defenders are undergraduate students attending the University of Maryland. They provide assistance and representation at campus judicial board hearings and residential conferences for students accused of violating provisions set forth in the Code of Academic Integrity, Code of Student Conduct, and Resident Life Rights and Responsibilities. Student Defenders are hand picked from a select group of students who have previously interned with the Legal Aid Office. They are familiar with University procedures and maintain high levels of confidentiality. Responsibilities The Student Defenders will be responsible for assisting the client in preparing for the hearing, acting as an advocate during the hearing, and assisting with any necessary appeals. While Student Defenders can advise students who have been asked to attend a preliminary interview, they do not provide representation at the interview.
