About

The Title IX Law Team is a resource for students, parents, and faculty/staff involved in Title IX cases nationwide. Title IX is a federal law that governs how all schools and colleges that receive any form of federal funding must respond to allegations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sex-based discrimination within their educational community. Almost all public and private K-12 schools and colleges in the U.S. receive some form of federal funding and are subject to Title IX’s rules and regulations. Title IX requires schools and colleges to designate a Title IX Coordinator to receive and administer complaints, and it requires that schools provide certain due process rights to both people filing complaints (complainants) and people accused of violations (respondents). The goal of Title IX’s regulations is to ensure that schools and colleges do not just brush complaints under the carpet without investigating them and, on the other hand, that people accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex-based discrimination are not unfairly punished or stigmatized without a full and fair investigation and a neutral decision-maker. Title IX also allows both parties to appeal and prevents both parties from retaliation.

The Title IX Law Team provides free information to people about the Title IX process. We have a network of experienced Title IX attorneys that we refer cases to nationwide. These attorneys are not affiliated with the Title IX Law Team. Rather, the Title IX Law Team aims to connect students, families, and staff members who need help with attorneys with substantial expertise in the niche field of Title IX. If you are connected with an attorney in our network, that attorney will go over their fee agreement with you, and you are under no obligation to engage their services.

Title IX is a unique and ever-changing area of the law. Most attorneys do not know anything about Title IX, its rules and regulations, its requirements, or its protections. If you or a loved one is the victim of Title IX misconduct or is accused of sex-based allegations, the ramifications of getting it wrong can be overwhelming. This site exists to ensure you do not go the journey alone. Often, having a skilled and experienced legal advisor makes all the difference for both complainants and respondents between winning and losing a Title IX case.

If you or a loved one is currently involved in a Title IX case at a school or college anywhere in the United States, contact us to see if we can connect you with an attorney who can help.
