Section 1720-04-09-.01 - PREAMBLE

The Code of Academic Conduct establishes and provides a system for the enforcement of minimum standards of integrity, fairness, equal opportunity, and professionalism in the conduct of academic pursuits at The University of Tennessee College of Law. As with the American Bar Association's "Code of Professional Responsibility," the touchstone of our system is self regulation. The policy of self regulation underlying the Code of Academic Conduct demands the cooperation of each member of the Law School community. All work should be done in full compliance with both the spirit and letter of the Code.
