Respondent's catalog lists approximately a thousand titles of prewritten papers indexed by subject matter generally covering courses of study found at institutions of higher learning. This paper is twelve pages long, together with a one-page introduction, footnotes, plus a page containing five sources of bibliography. Colleges and universities utilize term papers in many courses which are assigned to students as tests of the student's ability to research and organize subjects for presentation as the student's own efforts and work product. It is patently misleading and deceptive if students misrepresent such project assignments as their own personal endeavors, when in truth and in fact the product submitted for academic credit is substantially prepared by other persons. Respondent provides term papers to students in institutions of higher learning, which term papers are known or should be known by Respondent to be submitted by the students in their courses for academic credit, falsely representing these term papers as their own work products, while in reality they are purchased from Respondent in complete or substantially complete form.
Respondent obtains money or property through the mails for such term papers.
The scheme or device by which Respondent obtains money from its student customers occurs by means of placing into their hands an instrumentality which the customer falsely represents to a third party, a college or university, as being the work product of the student alone. In the absence of such false representations Respondent could not accomplish its purpose of obtaining money from student purchasers of term papers. Thus, Respondent's scheme is perpetrated by false representations of student customers to their schools which Respondent contemplated and knowingly assisted. Respondent's scheme of false representations by its student customers to third parties is within the purview of 39 U.S. Code 3005. The Court's position is applied in the instant matter.
