Journal: The fake lawyers.

At the beginning of the year, there was a judicial situation in which our National University was involved , and this shocked me a lot. The fact was that 97 students from the Faculty of Laws received passing marks on their exams even though it was discovered that some of them had failed those exams. And what is worst , is that an important percentage of the students had not even took the exams. All these irregularities, led the authorities of the Faculty of Law to denounced this case on the federal Court of Justice.
Luckily, the investigation was started inmediately and continued during the last months. It is said that the students who are involved in the case are going to be called by justice soon. A local newspaper also announced that untill now, 67 students have been proved to be directly affected by this case and that the justice is willing to hear their declarations. For the time being, the University is not allowing them to continue with their studies. On the other hand, the Faculty is greatly colaborating with the justice by handind over all the evidence that they are requested by the lawyers who attend the case
All this investigation turned also to the students who already have their degrees. And in result, several denunciations have been made by the College of Lawyers. This College is incharged of delivering the permissions to the students that have already finished their career so as to allow them to work as lawyers. This entity have recently discovered that some of the students who asked for that permission had not taken the final exams or some others had just assisted to the Faculty for no more than two yeasr!
All this realization about the existance of fake lawyers and about the situation of some students that were about to became part of this fraud makes me think that at least the controls and measures necessary to avoid this are already functioning. But on the other hand, there's no way to avoid the question about how many fake degrees have already been delivered before all this case saw the light?
The only solution, for the time being, is just to put emphasis on the safety meassures. Universities and Colleges should for example made their data base interchangeable with the governmental organizations. This might be a way of making both institutions stronger to confront this type of frauds and might also be a way to trasmit security to the society about these type of cases.
