Both Esquivel and the other law student reach similar conclusions in their academic papers:
One difference in the theses, in addition to the number of pages, is that the complete bibliography is not included in the minister’s work, digitized by the UNAM, while in the previous thesis it does appear in its entirety.
The possible consequences
so far so much the minister as well as her thesis adviser have denied plagiarism and so far they have not ruled on the UNAM statement and the possible consequences that this will bring for their permanence in the Court.
According to “Plagiarism and Ethics”, a UNAM publication dedicated to the subject, it is explained that the university court “It is the only competent instance to analyze and vent it, as well as to impose the corresponding sanction.”
According to the Information Note issued by the Office of the General Counsel of the UNAM on June 21, 2007, the sanctions for plagiarism reach the annulment of the supported exam and revocation of the professional title.
In addition, experts such as the law professor, Jorge Lara, have pointed out that having been a magistrate and president of the Court of Administrative Justice of Mexico City, if her professional title is revoked, the consequences would be “catastrophic” for all the litigation in which he intervened.
Before being a Minister in the Court, Yasmín Esquivel was a Magistrate and President of the Court of Administrative Justice of Mexico City.
If plagiarism is confirmed, the consequences would be catastrophic for all the lawsuits in which he was involved.
