After jumping through some hoops, Lawrence was eventually able to get a direct line to the dean. The dean was a bit guarded at first but once it became clear that there was a potential ethics violation, he was willing to cooperate to the extent that he could.
He confirmed the following details to Lawrence:
1. Nathan was correct, 9 of the 14 listed award types were completely made up.
2. With the remaining real awards, Laura lied about having received many of them, and she certainly didn't win Most Promising Law Student twice during her degree!!!!
Once the phone call was over, the facts became abundantly clear.
Nathan looked at Lawrence excitedly, having put 2 and 2 together more or less.
"Mr. Kahn, this is serious isn't it?"
Nathan couldn't believe it. He was only in law school and yet he had successfully uncovered REAL WRONGDOING. He couldn't believe someone as attractive, intelligent and hardworking as Laura Cohen could actually be dishonest in her time at law school. he began to see the older career-driven brunette differently.
"Like... really serious? What now?"
