Kids confess to things they did not do more often than you would think. Alone in a cold room with an officer pressuring them, being told we're going to be charged with a more serious crime if they don't make an admission.

Not every campus mistake needs a lawyer. But a lot of them add up faster than students think.

A banned appliance in the dorm. A lit candle. A hole in the wall from a prank gone wrong. On their own, each one might just be a warning.

A plagiarism charge feels like a school problem. It is much bigger than that.

Being found responsible can follow you to other schools, to future jobs, and even admission to the bar if you want to be a lawyer.

The truth about what counts as an arrest surprises almost everyone, and getting it wrong can be worse than the original charge.

Watch before you answer that question on any application.

Here is what actually goes into a custody decision.
