Some students erroneously believe that plagiarism can occur only when there is an explicit intent to deceive. Plagiarism can occur whenever one makes use of the ideas or work product of another without including an appropriate citation, and applies to every type of work encountered in law school. Students are responsible for the information concerning plagiarism found in Avoiding Plagiarism in Law School: A Law Student's Guide to Sources and Their Acknowledgment available in the Dean's office and the law library.

There are two forms of self-plagiarization:

for students self-plagiarization is taking a term paper or essay that was written for one class and submitting substantial parts of that work for credit in a second class, without informing the instructor.

for professionals self-plagiarization is using part of one publication in a subsequent publication, without the indicia of a quotation or citation to a paraphrase of an earlier publication

Plagiarism is the presenting of another's works, ideas or projects as one's original work. To draw upon another's work; to copy out passages (even as short as a sentence) verbatim or with small changes; to use as original another's ideas, interpretations, striking terms or phrases; to paraphrase; or to summarize without acknowledging the source these require acknowledgement (i.e.footnotes or other citations giving adequate description of the source of materials and clearly indicating all quotations either by quotation marks or by otherwise setting off the quoted passage).

The most common forms of student plagiarism, whether deliberate or not, are these:

1. Too much of the wording is quoted without being placed within quotation marks.

2. The research or thoughts of another are not credited.

3. The sources used are merely listed in a bibliography section and not specifically tied to information in the

text.

Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another's ideas, language, or work for one's own gain. It is important to recognize, however, that one can commit plagiarism through unintentional carelessness as well as through deliberate theft. We will discuss plagiarism and how to avoid it. Remember: ignorance of the 'law' is no excuse.

Plagiarism, even if it's unintentional, is extremely serious; you can be expelled from UVA for it. If you plagiarize in a professional community, you will not only embarrass yourself, but you will discredit your own work and perhaps even be faced with legal action. So, it's important that you take plagiarism seriously and protect yourself against making a mistake.

According to the University's pamphlet Academic Fraud and the Honor System:

Plagiarism is the use of the distinctive ideas or words belonging to another person without adequate acknowledgment of that person's contribution. To use as one's own the ideas or words of another is dishonest, since with most academic writing the greater part of the thought and expression is the property of the author himself. Some ideas may have such wide currency that all may use them freely; some words - such as proverbs and cliches -are public property. But when the writer borrows what belongs to any other person, whether a published or an unpublished work, he must indicate the source by way of a footnote or an internal reference, and he must enclose any and all distinctive words of the source within the quotation marks.

(i) YVCC recognizes two types of plagiarism: Intentional and unintentional. Intentional plagiarism is the dishonest act of appropriating another's ideas, words, facts, opinions, or images with the intent to deceive others about the document's origin. Any student found to have committed intentional plagiarism shall be subject to disciplinary actions provided for in the Code Procedures and Summary Suspension Rules.

(ii) Students may also commit plagiarism without intent to deceive. A student's intent to deceive shall be taken into account when instructors evaluate an act of plagiarism. All forms of plagiarism which an instructor determines to be unintentional should be treated as instructional problems to be handled within the student/instructor relationship with the instructor following, but not limited by, the penalty guideline below:

(A) Student must resubmit the assignment after instruction but before an agreed upon due date.

(B) Student can receive a lowered grade on the assignment, including "F."

(C) Student can be advised to seek aid from the writing center or tutoring center as a condition before receiving a grade or resubmitting an assignment.

The instructor need not take formal disciplinary action for unintentional plagiarism.
