Harvard Law professor admits plagarism

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ofessor_lifted_passage

i wonder did they use turnitin.com on him 🙂

anyways, clip notes:

The problem came when one research assistant inserted the quotation from Balkin in a draft of the book, believing that another assistant would review and summarize it. The closing quotation mark was inadvertently dropped, according to Ogletree.


A second assistant, under deadline pressure, deleted the attribution to Balkin. Ogletree reviewed the draft, but did not recognize that he had not written the passage, he said. The six paragraphs are identical except for a half-dozen changed words.
