I'm glad the student legal clinic worked for you.
In this post's case, if the student is innocent, I think they need a high-powered lawyer who will take the case on contingency. Which I think probably means not just reinstatement, and extra help in getting student's career back on track, but big enough damages/fees to make it worth the lawyer's while.
Winning legal action that hurt would also help protect other students. Universities understand money and reputation. Individuals within universities understand their own careers. Everything else varies by individual and faculty.
(Though I should add that I only recall hearing positive things about the university in this post, and I think of the broad space of medical/health practitioners as highly ethical and thoughtful. I'd be very disappointed if it turned out that the university made a big mistake.)
