Law Attracts Many Peruvians, But There's No Jimmy Green
By Suzy Tichacek
In Peru, the study of law does not involve the tradition of Jimmy Green as it does at KU.
The study of law and the ratio of students in law compared to other professional fields varies greatly between the United States and Peru, according to a group of Peruvian law students visiting KU.
While in the United States the group will be interested in American law schools, penal institutions, crime and delinquency, the U.S. system of education, student life, and other phases of American society.
One professor and 12 students from the Faculty of Law of the University of San Agustin in Arequipa, Peru, were here this week.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE Educational Travel Program, these students came to the United States by invitation of the U.S. State Department, or. October 15 and will stay until Nov. 14.
When asked about the KU law school, Julio Nunez said, "I think it is great. You have a very good way of choosing students. You have hard entrance exams which means you have very good lawyers."
EDWARD CACERES, professor of law at the University of San Augustin, is a criminal judge of the Superior Court of Arequipa.
The 10 men and two women from Peru are all fifth year law students which is equivalent to seniors in the KU law school according to Robert Casad, professor of law.
"The number of students studying law here (the U.S.) is lower in proportion than other professions because the United States needs more technicians than the South American countries do." Nunez said.
NUNEZ SAID in Peru there are not many universities. All but one or two have law faculties (schools) but only a few have faculties of medicine, chemistry, and physics.
According to Nunez Peruvian law students study two years of pre-law called Faculty of Letters. During this time they study humanities,

universal history, culture, and Peruvian history.
PROF. CACERES SAID, "The way you study law here is completely different than our law students. The difference is that we have principle materials like civil law and penal law and these materials are separated from procedure. The United States' way of studying is more practical."

After this the students enter the Faculty of Law in which they do not specialize as much as the American law schools, Nunez said.

Prof. Caceres said the Peruvian law students get practical training in two different ways. In the university the students study practical cases for two years and also they receive training in a court in a
program controlled by the university. It is necessary to complete these two training programs to get a law title.
When asked his opinion of the United States, Prof. Caceres said, "It's a wonderful place—a nation growing. I don't know when it's going to stop."
"SOMETHING I ADMIRE," he said, "the people live free—free of everything. Everybody has the opportunity to get a title, study, talk—and everybody is a person here."
"I think it's wonderful," Nunez said, "it's well organized. You have satisfied all your primary necessities and you are a developed country. We have to learn much about you, especially your sense of community."
