When you are practicing law, improper quotation or attribution may create an impression that you are careless or untrustworthy. Avoid lengthy paraphrasing. Use paraphrasing as a substitute for a quotation, but not as a substitute for your own written analysis. Avoid this serious breach of academic integrity by zealous attribution whenever you use the ideas of others. If you ever have a question about whether you need to attribute a source, or where a citation should be located, ask before the paper is due.
Plagiarism is an offense under the Honor Code.
