I read through the honor board reports at my law school once and they were disgusting. People blatantly cheated, then would make up some sort of excuse and the honor board would do nothing. The punishments for cheating should be certain and severe.
It’s not just about the reputation of the schools, it’s about society as a whole. A chronic problem in the third world is widespread cheating and low level corruption. The last straw that convinced my dad to leave our home country was a phone line installer asking for a bribe when he came to install a second line. If we don’t police our culture we will degenerate into that sort of behavior over time.
- nradov 1y agoI don't condone cheating but it's a bit less of a concern in law school. Ultimately they still have to pass the bar exam. In the USA at least it's quite difficult to cheat on that, although I don't know whether the same applies in your home country.
- rayiner 1y agoIt’s a much bigger concern in law school because the entire legal system is built on trust. (It’s a very specific, narrowly defined form of trust, but trust nonetheless.)
