VII. SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW PLAGIARISM POLICY STATEMENT

1. Plagiarism Defined
   

Plagiarism results from the unacknowledged use of material found in print sources, oral presentations, or visual, electronic or other media sources.  Plagiarism does not require an intention to deceive.  It can result when a student submits as his or her own work ideas, language, data or other material contained in a source not acknowledged by the student, if the student knew or should have known that such acknowledgement was required.  Plagiarism includes, without limitation, the following:

• Submitting another author’s published or unpublished work, in whole, in part or in paraphrase, as one’s own work, without fully and properly crediting the other author with footnotes, citations or other bibliographical reference.
• Submitting as one’s own original work any material, including data, tables, graphs, charts or other visual material obtained from any source, without acknowledgement and citation of the source.
• Submitting as one’s own original work material produced through unacknowledged collaboration with others, unless such collaboration is permitted by the instructor.
