I can tell you that people would not do any googling...MDs and Heads of divisions in banks have their main job to do and they cannot google every aplicant that applies to their division (and the number is in hundreds)...Otherwise they would not have time to do anything else ... You would expect HR to do that but no...Most of HR people are good looking young ladies with degrees in English or similar...They are also swamped and prefer to go for similar names...To be quite honest that they will probably ask for LLB but would not know the difference between law and jurisprudence, thinking that it is exactly the same, basically jurisprudence is a posh word for law...
When I said google I meant the HR people. I mean surely sorting out applications is their job after all? To me, a HR person not googling a qualification he/she doesn't know is like a lawyer who goes before the court of appeal without researching the case law first.
On a side note, evidential difficulties aside and just for hilarious fun, I wonder if it's possible to sue a firm in negligence if you get passed over because HR didn't recognize your degree. Probably not because if my hazy memory of first year tort serves me correctly, I don't think "loss of a chance" is actionable.
