Legal Writing

Are You Being Plagiarized?

I’ve written a number of posts (here, here, and here) about law firms republishing copyrighted materials without permission.

Are others republishing what you wrote without permission? Has someone lifted your copy (from a client alert, perhaps) and republished it without your consent?

To find out, try this: copy a line from something you wrote, wrap it in quotes, and then ask Google to search for it. If all Google can find is what you wrote, fine. If not, investigate.
