Performance Review Boards, or a “PRB,” is the formal hearing before a panel of officers given to a Naval Reserve Officer Training Command (NROTC) student before a disenrollment or discipline decision is given by the NROTC unit Commanding Officer or Professor of Naval Science (PNS).
At the PRB, the student has many important rights including:
- Presenting evidence, including witnesses and documents
- Making statements to the board verbally or in writing
- Making argument to the board on evidence and possible discipline in the form of opening and closing statements
- Being represented by an attorney at the PRB, who can make argument to the board
ATTORNEY PATRICK KORODY HAS SUCCESSFULLY REPRESENTED MIDSHIPMAN FACING PRBs AND DISENROLLMENT HEARINGS AT UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
PRBs can be the most important hearing in a young perspective Naval officer’s life. If the PRB recommends disenrollment to the Commanding Officer, the student’s Naval officer career is normally over and he or she will likely be required to repay all education assistance awarded or look at serving in the enlisted ranks.
PRB HEARINGS ARE MILITARY HEARINGS WITHOUT A CIVILIAN EQUIVALENT. MR. KORODY HAS MORE THAN A DECADE OF NAVY JAG EXPERIENCE, WHICH HE USES TO THE BENEFIT OF HIS CLIENTS.
A recommendation for disenrollment is hard to overcome, which is why it is extremely important to thoroughly prepare for a PRB with the assistance of an experienced military attorney like Mr. Korody. A recommendation for disenrollment will place the student on administrative leave from the NROTC unit pending final action by the NROTC to separate the student from the program.
Mr. Korody spent 10 years on active duty in the Navy JAG and continues to serve as a reserve JAG. He was designated a Specialist in Military Justice by the Judge Advocate General of the Navy.
Successful outcomes at PRBs require significant preparation time. If you have been notified of a PRB, do not delay seeking assistance. Call 904.383.7261 for a free consultation.
