Almost perfect attendance, grades bordering on excellence and enviable regularity were some of the first revelations from the certificate of studies of Chartist senator Hernán David Rivas Román. The Colorado legislator – according to the document prepared and awarded by the Universidad Sudamericana – managed to complete his law degree and obtain the title of lawyer in five years.
The truth is that Hernán Rivas – he had been – not only had those qualities but also studied more than any other lawyer graduate in the country. He had more hours in at least five common subjects of his university career, according to the comparison of his academic background with the curriculum of six universities, both public and private.
all above
Some of the common subjects that Rivas supposedly took and that are in the curricula of the law degree of almost all tertiary studies houses are: Roman Law I and II, Criminal Law I and II, as well as Civil Procedural Law.

The legislator’s academic background says that he had more hours in all of these subjects, compared to other universities.
For example, there are Roman Law I and II. The Chartist senator – according to the document – “studied” in the first and second semesters a total of 91 hours each.
What is striking is that in the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the National University of Asunción (UNA), these same subjects are developed in 64 hours, four a week, each in the second and third semester, according to the study plan published in the website of that tertiary institution. That is, Rivas “studied” 27 hours more for each module in relation to the UNA.
In other houses of higher education such as the Catholic University “Our Lady of the Assumption” (UC), the University of the Integration of the Americas (Unida), the Autonomous University of Encarnación (Unae) and the Private University of the East (UPE), the development of These subjects are almost similar to UNA.
At UC, for example, Roman Law I and II are taught in the third and fourth semester of the Law degree with 72 hours each. At Unida, the same subjects are developed in 80 hours each, while at the Universidad Privada del Este (UPE) they are 88 hours for each module, according to the study programs published on the respective digital pages.
Another specific case in greater number of hours of study occurs in the subjects of Criminal Law I and II. The Chartist senator Hernán Rivas “studied” at the Universidad Sudamericana for 108 and 72 hours, in the third and fourth semester, respectively, according to his certificate.
The truth is that at UNA, these same subjects are developed in 64 hours for each module, in the third and fourth semester. For its part, at the Católica and the Autonomous University of Encarnación (Unae) classes are 72 and 75 hours, respectively, in the corresponding semester.
Almost double
Even more unusual is that the difference in Hernán Rivas’s study hours also occurs in other subjects that are not common. For example, there are Maritime Law and Forensic Medicine.
Rivas says that he studied 60 hours of Maritime Law and 72 hours of Legal Medicine at the Universidad Sudamericana. The strange thing is that at UNA, Católica and Unida, Maritime Law is developed in 48, 36 and 40 hours, respectively.
Meanwhile, Legal Medicine, at UNA, Unida and Unae has a workload of 48, 40 and 43 hours, respectively, according to the study plans.
I didn’t want to give names of teachers.
Although he had a higher workload in several subjects, the Chartist senator Hernán David Rivas did not want to say which was his favorite subject nor did he want to mention any of his teachers. It was last Thursday in an interview on 1080 AM.
The Colorado legislator “asked for time” and promised to “give all the information” in the coming weeks when he was asked about the teachers who were in charge of teaching the classes on Roman Law, Legal Technique and Criminal Procedure Law.

Even more strange is that Hernán Rivas – who came to preside over the Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates (JEM) – when consulted about the bill presented by the Chartist deputy Yamil Esgaib modifying Art. 67 of the Penal Code said that he had no knowledge and I didn’t want to give an opinion either. Through this initiative, the aim is to reduce the penalty for the corrupt if they return the stolen money, better known as “awarded return.”
When asked about the tools already existing in the Penal Code for reparation in cases of corruption, Rivas replied: “I don’t know anything yet. “I don’t want to give an opinion, I want to read.”
Rosary of inconsistencies
The documentation on the academic preparation of the Chartist senator drags a string of inconsistencies. The last one evidenced made reference to the different codes of minutes in certificates that were supposedly “true copies”, and the sum of the workload did not match.
