During an ROTC Disenrollment Hearing the Cadet’s attorney can not technically speak, but they can be of great assistance to the Cadet. The board will be often deferential to the attorney in allowing as much time as possible to talk to the Cadet. A good attorney in an ROTC Disenrollment Hearing can “read the room” and push the boundaries in giving the Cadet their best chance at a good outcome. Steve Shewmaker and Alexa Lewis discuss exactly how an attorney can help in this video from the Shewmaker & Shewmaker Law Firm.
