1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

the university will take action
It will be a very difficult path for her to walk alone. If possible, you should support her through it.
Given her history of family abuse, she won’t necessarily open up completely to you or anyone else. Accept that fact and be patient with her.
You will ask why do you have to bear this, just remember that by being placed in her path, you might actually become the reason why she doesn’t mortally harm herself.
Take care and I hope she perseveres through this.
Whatever you might think about the profs and administration in your university. You can be sure that they are adults who have seen this several times before. So you should notify the authorities. You should tell them everything you know and suspect and let them figure it out. It’s really the only thing to do.
Don’t let idiots on here tell you to offer her counselling yourself ( you’re not a therapist) or to keep mum and say nothing because privacy ( there is no right to privacy when you might harm yourself or others).
There is a deep spiritual reason behind her being in your environment.
Don't judge her - suport her like anything.
2. Even if you had been what you claimed, I don't really care. Law firms or their people don't hold any special place of honour for me.
3. Unlike you, I don't like to parade my credentials, academic or professional. Both are way beyond your station.
