Capacity of Lawyers Trained in Private Universities Under Review

The president of the Panama's National Institute of Lawyers has criticized legal qualifications awarded after only two years of study.

Monday, April 11, 2011

While students at Panama's state university graduate after seven years, some private universities award degrees after only two. The concern is that these new legal professionals are not receiving adequate training.

Rubén Elías Rodríguez called for the body in charge of regulating academic qualifications to be more strict with these universities with the aim of controlling the quality of Panama's legal profession.
