Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined by the University as 'the unacknowledged inclusion in a student’s work of material derived from the published or unpublished work of another' (University Examination Regulations).
The Law Department provides information and guidance on avoiding plagiarism and why it is important to do so, in its 'General Student Information' Blackboard course.
The University Library also provide more general advice about plagiarism and how to avoid it.
Law students found guilty of plagiarism will be reported to the Law Society and may find it difficult to pursue a legal career as a result.
