A colleague of mine, from a good NLU, recently lied about which law school his girlfriend went to.
I was a bit surprised to hear him mention the name of a good NLU since I'd distantly known of her and remembered her going to a not so good private uni. The girlfriend seems like a very nice person and has done well for herself professionally (at another law firm) inspite of the real challenge she may have faced due to her college tag. We're not freshers either, a few years into the profession and cognizant that college name doesn't mean much after a point.
Have any of you experienced anything like this? Why are people like this?
May be she has done an LLM from an NLU. One would find numerous such Harvard/yale educated lawyers in Linkedin, who may have done a certificate course from such institutions.
An LLM is not a certificate course unless it is specifically distant education. A regular LLM requires being on campus, attending classes and all that.

Actually, what I find more common is people covering up if their partner is from a lower caste and got admitted through reservation.
