So,
My professor has been letting me use his signature many times (including his son) and I thought it would be cool as long as I cc his email and now the school is accusing me of forging it. In order to get readmission, I was forced to accept the charge because the school had placed a hold on my student account.
Should I try to reopen it and attempt to get a warning(non-reportable) or "not responsible" instead of "Academic misconduct", since they violated my procedural rights to pursue a hearing or appeal?
After reviewing my case with many lawyers, they all agreed upon my position that they didn't not grant me with a meaningful opportunity to present my side of the story.
If I reopen the case, I'm not sure if saying, "I didn't know how the system works in America, as I'm an international student, and as long as I show my professor that I'd use his signature like previous cases, I thought I'd be fine" would sound legitimate to Americans
What should I do?
Should I give in and move forward or fight tooth and nail to downgrade it to a warning or "not responsible"
If I can't overturn this situation, I have to say good bye to T6 or even any T 14 or T20 school right?

What do you mean "including his son"?
Regardless, if this is a violation of a private institution's rules, the school doesn't have to actually do things the way the court system works... so you may not necessarily have the right to a hearing or an appeal, but definitely check your own school's policies. It's also hard to say exactly how it would affect law school admissions but an action like this could be seen as poor judgment and ethics.
