Visualizing plagiarism: the Meehan case

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

In an interesting post titled What does plagiarism look like?, VizWorld presents a composite picture of pages of Meehan's thesis, with copied text highlighted in yellow.

VizWorld wrote: As another recent story suggests, plagiarism seems to be governed by a sliding scale, with consequences lessening as the wrongdoer?s status rises. One might ask Elena Kagan and Laurence Tribe.
