Abstract

Counselor educators and supervisors are required to evaluate students' personal behaviors and clinical skills relative to their effect on professionally accepted standards of practice. Sometimes, interrupting the student's studies or even dismissing the student from the counseling program is necessary. However, legal challenges to dismissal that are based on interpersonal or clinical incompetence require sound systematic academic evaluation and adherence to procedural and substantive due process. An examination of professional competency from both counselor education and legal perspectives, an evaluation procedure and process, and a case description in which a student legally challenged a dismissal are presented.
