EXAM MALPRACTICE AT HARVARD

Examination malpractice is everywhere. It is really amazing the extent some people can go in order to become what they want.  Mathew Martoma wanted to become a lawyer but was expelled from Harvard Law School because he:

(1) used computer software to generate a forged law school transcript, and then submitted the falsified transcript to Federal judges in support of his application for a clerkship;

(2) was then interviewed by several judges, on the basis of the falsified law school transcript;

(3) during disciplinary proceedings at Harvard Law School, altered the date of an e-mail he submitted as mitigating evidence; and

(4) during the disciplinary proceedings, submitted a computer forensic report concerning the date on which the email had been sent, without disclosing to the disciplinary committee that he had formed the company that had prepared the forensic report.
