Washington and Lee University
Honor Advocates play an integral role in the proceedings of the Executive Committee, Student-Faculty Hearing Board, and Student Judicial Council. The goal of an Honor Advocate is to help ascertain the truth. This goal is achieved by assisting students/faculty/staff prepare and present their cases.
Honor Advocates must counsel students by explaining the options available to them. They must also support the students and help find any support that they require. Advocates deal with serious matters and must understand and abide by the University's confidentiality policy. Even though Honor Advocates must serve as advocates and counselors, they are not attorneys; thus, the attorney-client privilege is not applicable.
