A. Definitions The Wisconsin Law Review follows UW-Madison s policy against academic misconduct, which is governed by Chapter 14 of the University of Wisconsin System Administrative code. This policy defines academic misconduct as: seek[ing] to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization or citation. 1 The Wisconsin Law Review expands upon this definition of academic misconduct to define plagiarizing as: (1) steal[ing] and pass[ing] off (the ideas or words of another) as one s own; (2) us[ing] (another s production) without crediting the source; (3) commit[ing] literary theft; or (4) present[ing] as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. 2 B. Self-plagiarism It is not permissible to use substantial written work already prepared for another reason, including but not limited to pieces prepared for an employer or any academic credit, to fulfill the requirements of the writing program. A member seeking to use such work to fulfill the requirements of the writing program may be permitted to do so with the consent of the Senior Note & Comment Editor. C. Consequences for Plagiarism Consistent with the Wisconsin Law Review s strong stance against plagiarism, plagiarism of other authors works will not be tolerated and will be treated as serious academic misconduct per the University of Wisconsin Administrative Code. Academic misconduct also is likely grounds for denial of admission to the bar due to the questionable moral 1 U.W.S (2008).For more information on UW s Student Academic Misconduct Campus Procedures, see misconduct/uws14.html#overview (last visited Mar. 10, 2009). 2 MERRIAM-WEBSTER ONLINE DICTIONARY (2009), (last visited Mar. 18, 2009).

25 25 BYLAWS OF THE WISCONSIN LAW REVIEW character reflected by the conduct. 3 If a note or comment is thought to contain plagiarism, the Note & Comment Editor will thoroughly citecheck the piece to determine whether any of the material has been plagiarized, and if so, the scope of the violation. If plagiarism is found, the next step is an evaluation by the Senior Note & Comment Editor and the Editor-in-Chief to determine the seriousness of the offense. Following this evaluation, the member in violation of this policy will be required to attend a meeting with the Note & Comment Editor, the Senior Note & Comment Editor, and the Editor-in-Chief to discuss the violation. Depending on the scope of the violation, any combination of the following disciplinary actions may be taken: 1. Immediate Wisconsin Law Review membership revocation. If membership is revoked, the Wisconsin Law Review will notify the former member s employer and the law-school administration. The former member will have to remove Wisconsin Law Review from his/her resume, his/her name will be removed from the masthead, and any work that he/she completed will be ineligible for publication. 2. Reporting the member s behavior to the Faculty Advisor. 3. Revocation of any offer of publication that has been made by the Wisconsin Law 4. Requiring the plagiarized portion(s) of the note or comment to be rewritten. 3 See Law School Rules Appendices A and B; No Collaboration Policy at Rule 6.11.
