Disciplinary Policies

‘“Of course, it would be difficult. And dangerous, very dangerous. We’d be breaking about fifty school rules, I expect.”’ -- Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling

"In short, Rappaport’s Law drove the American wizarding community, already dealing with an unusually suspicious No-Maj population, still deeper underground."—Overview of the law

Rappaport's Law is an American wizarding law enacted by President Emily Rappaport in 1790 in response to the fallout of Dorcus Twelvetrees's breach of the International Statute of Secrecy. It will be repealed eventually in 1965.

Ilvermorny students are held to a strict standard of discipline with regard to Rappaport's Law. Any student suspected of breaking school policy or wizarding law is automatically placed on restrictions and earns demerits for their student house. Any student caught or proven to have broken school policy or wizarding law is summarily ejected from the school. Literally.
