Abstract

This chapter examines the legal impact of alleged plagiarism in the Information Age on professionals and people who plan to become professionals. Through examples of litigations in Australia and a few other common-law jurisdictions, the current manuscript discusses plagiarism in general and particularly in the cyberspace, with a hope of arousing professionals' and future professionals' alertness to the possible legal risks of disqualifications arising from plagiarism allegedly committed at any point of time before and after they become professionals.
