Abstract: 

For those with a keen eye on judicial affairs, the issue of creeping legalism or judicializing the campus conduct process is receiving some due discussion. Commentators are weighing in, and a consensus is forming. Most will agree that a balance be - tween legalism with developmentalism is desirable. (Developmentalism refers to the approach taken in enforcing campus conduct codes in which the goal is not punishment for the violator but rather the protection of the community and the encouragement of the violator in moral and ethical development.) The debate focuses on how that balance will be struck. This article discusses the debate and certain aspects of it that will have to be taken into account when trying to find a balance between the two ideas.
