You Can Understand the Law In fact it's a skill that college students can't afford to be without.
Whether you're planning a party or fighting sweatshop labor, you
need to know your rights. The law invades almost every aspect of
campus life. Just logging on to the school's computer system, for
example, opens up countless legal issues: Can the school monitor
your myspace page to see what you're up to? If they find something
incriminating, what can they do? Can they read your e-mail? What
about file sharing? CO-STAR's seminars answer these types of questions. Presented by CO-STAR's founding executive director, C.L. Lindsay, they teach college students how to navigate tricky situations with the law and how to avoid run-ins with the authorities in the first place. The multimedia programs are interactive, innovative and entertaining.
They take the mystery out of legalese and explain student rights
in a clear, cogent and often outright funny way. This program is a party-throwers prep course, discussing everything hosts need to consider before they litter the campus with invitations and tap the  keg.
Pre-party preparations; monitoring the party in progress; and, post-party
legal cleanup are all explained. For example, promoting a party with
posters, on-campus or in town, could technically make the party a
"public event" allowing the police or other authorities
to enter the party without a warrant or permission. Attendees are
taught to avoid a number of similar pitfalls, including how to legally
serve liquor, how to legally ask partygoers for monetary contributions,
guarding against citations for serving alcohol to minors, avoiding
garnering unwanted attention from neighbors and others. The program
also teaches what to do if, despite their best efforts, the authorities
do arrive.

violence as it does with finding a soul mate. This program covers
both sides of the equation. Rape (including date rape and statutory
rape) stalking; sexual abuse; and, domestic abuse are all discussed-what
constitutes each crime, the penalties for each, how to report an
incident, and strategies for avoiding victimization.
So
you need to know what your rights (and the odds) are before you
walk through the classroom door. This seminar gives students the
basic skills they need to deal with teaching faculty. It also gives
students a step by step guide for challenging an unfair grade. The
second half of the program focuses on academic dishonesty. What
constitutes "cheating"? What exactly is "plagiarism"?
What happens if I "buy my thesis from some guy on eBay"?
Methods employed by professors to detect cheaters as are strategies
for dealing with an (God forbid) accusation.
both
universities and their students in a precarious and, largely undefined
space. Add to that the fact that students are commonly accused of
online harassment, electronic stalking, copyright infringement,
and software piracy and its clear that cyberspace can be a dangerous
place, indeed. This program teaches students everything they need
to know about their online lives: What their rights are; how the
laws operate; what potential liabilities await them. And, most importantly,
they'll leave knowing how to protect themselves both legally and
personally when they log on.
