Student etches pens with criminal law notes in ambitious bid to pass exam
Taking the Bic?
A law lecturer in Spain claims one of her students once tried to cheat on an exam by finely etching their revision notes across multiple plastic pens.
Yes, that’s right. Malaga University lecturer Yolanda de Lucchi took Twitter recently to share two images of what she says show the 11 pens that were confiscated from the unnamed former law student.
“Tidying up my office, I found this university relic that we confiscated from a student a few years ago,” Lucchi wrote in a tweet translated from Spanish to English. “Criminal procedural law in bic pens. What art!”
Haciendo orden en mi despacho he encontrado esta reliquia universitaria que confiscamos a un alumno hace unos años: el derecho procesal penal en bolis bic. Que arte! #laschuletasnosoncomoantes pic.twitter.com/3J4LMn0RQF

The post has since gone viral, attracting over 24,000 retweets and nearly 300,000 likes.
Responding, one person wrote: “The level of being able to write like this on pens and such quantity. That’s hours and surely it helped him to study without wanting to.”

Given the amount of time taken to etch all those pens, would it have not been easier to learn the material?

Teach them how to determine the legal issues and also how to apply the law to solve the issues. Everything is available online now. No need, in fact foolhardy to waste energies to memorize the law. With the new technogies & artificial intelligence the trends are changing. Law schools better change too, otherwise they will find themselves redundant.

Cheating, plain and simple. The student in question should be found and banned from law for life.

Come on, Alan, surely you’ve got one of your trademark hot takes to share on this?
“Snowflake teachers stifle initiative”, perhaps, or maybe “This shows a level of skill and commitment that today’s youngsters would do well to imitate”?

Come on CL really one of the easiest module. The student should receive an F and be given the chance to resit the exam. This is a big shame giving that you writing a law exam again. I hope the student get his/her name cleared cos my omo is omoed at this point

Not in Spain. Studying law in Spain is a pain as you have to learn tone of unnecessary laws that you more likely not to use it in practice to past the exam.
