Abstract

Plagiarism is essential to good lawyering. The better part of litigation is copying forms and models, and transactional practice is mostly cut and paste. If lawyers aren't plagiarizing, they're committing malpractice. This article argues that law schools should stop punishing plagiarism and start teaching it.
