The judges who used the law to help their children study law!

The head of the district court in Gdańsk Wojciech Andruszkiewicz sent a letter to Gdańsk University praising four children of court employees who failed to pass the entrance exams for the law faculty. The parents of those children are three judges and a court clerk. Both the rector of the university and the dean of the law faculty claim they did not see the letter, but according to Gazeta Wyborcza, the university submitted to pressure and accepted at least one of the four children. Lawyers form the university are outraged by what they call "an attempt to interfere with university issues." To this Andruszkiewicz replied, "I am sorry that academic circles considered my letter as a form of pressure. I do not like to impose myself. But why not inform that someone has "deserving" parents?" He went on to say, "In the future I would not write such a letter. I see one should not do that, but I have been the head of the court for only few months and I considered a letter of recommendation a duty to the employees I esteem." Currently the police from the anticorruption department are looking into the case. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) E.B.
