 The
Office of the General Counsel is responsible for all legal work
arising from the activities of Dartmouth College's undergraduate and graduate
programs and associated activities. We strongly believe that an effective
general counsel's office does not merely respond when consulted. Rather,
through close communication with faculty and staff, the Office seeks to keep
abreast of the College's programmatic goals, and takes affirmative steps to
help achieve those goals before legal issues become legal problems.
The Office performs a wide variety of legal services. These include advising
College officials on regulatory compliance and other legal aspects of their
duties; representing the College in litigation before federal and state courts
and administrative agencies; advising on issues involving risk management;
preparing and negotiating contracts between the College and other entities; and
representing the College in commercial transactions. The Office also supervises
the activities of outside counsel who may be retained to assist with particular
matters requiring specialized expertise.
Principal areas of the Office's practice include the following:
- Affirmative Action and Non-Discrimination
- Antitrust
- Athletics - Title IX
- Charitable Giving
- Commercial Transactions
