Plagiarism, as defined on the University of Akron Office of General Counsel web page, “is the intentional or unintentional use of the words or ideas of another without acknowledging their source.” Deliberate and accidental plagiarism are treated the same by the University and the School of Law. The University places the responsibility on the students to know what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.
Law students caught plagiarizing will be violating the Law School’s Student Disciplinary Code and will be subject to proceedings under the Code. Consequences can be severe and may include dismissal from the University.
More information about plagiarism can be found here- Law Library Plagiarism Guide.
CALI Lesson: Plagiarism – Keeping Out of Trouble. This lesson will explain what constitutes plagiarism, how to avoid plagiarizing, and offers opportunities for students to test their understanding of plagiarism.
The University of Akron School of Law in conjunction with the Akron Bar Association sponsors the Charles F. Scanlon and Judge Samuel H. Bell Inn of Court. This is an extra-curricular activity for lawyers, judges, and law students. Students interested in participating in this unique experience may submit applications to Professor Carro by April 13, 2012. An application should include a cover letter reflecting, inter alia, that you have or have not previously applied, and a resume.
The Inn of Court began in 1988 and is now in its fourth decade. The Inn is made up of attorneys with less than four years of experience, selected law students, attorneys with four to fifteen years of experience, and senior attorneys and judges. We have Federal and State Court Judges as members, as well as renowned litigators. The Inn of Court meets each year from September through April (skipping December), once a month, to discuss ethics, public issues, and advocacy.
In addition to being a member of the Inn as a whole, each Inn member is also a participant in a pupilage group which might be likened to a subcommittee of the Inn. There are usually sixty to seventy people in the Inn as a whole and fifteen to eighteen people in each of four pupilage groups. The Inn as a whole meets in the evening once a month, on the THIRD WEDNESDAY of each month, except December. The pupilage group would also meet once a month for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after work to discuss the matters presented in the general meeting.
At the monthly Inn of Court meetings we discuss diverse issues, including advocacy and ethics issues. This past term we presented parts of the Sacco & Vanzetti case.
We are fortunate to have eight positions allocated to the School of Law for interested and dedicated students to participate in the Inn for one year. If you are interested in participating and can attend the meetings outlined above, please submit a letter expressing your interest and a resume to Professor J. Dean Carro.
Preference is given to students who have applied previously, and to graduating students who will not have the opportunity the following year to participate. The deadline for submitting your applications is April 13, 2012. Thank you for your attention.
