Mathew Martoma’s faked Harvard Law School transcript, which led to the former SAC Capital Advisors LP fund manager’s expulsion, is a type of transgression seen only about once every 10 years, said law professor Alan Dershowitz.

“I remember probably about one a decade,” said Dershowitz, a lawyer on the faculty since 1964 who has represented defendants including O.J. Simpson and Claus von Bulow. “The more usual case is we’ll find someone who faked their college resume” to get into the school.
