Consti II Cases for Midterms

Although I'm not yet sure if this is all, I added the links to the 42 cases for Constitutional Law II (LLB128) to Cannot Digest Supreme Court Rulings. Since I have not read any of them, I have to either allocate more time for reading or adopt some kind of speedreading technique.

Hmm. While writing this or even before, I find myself getting conscious of spellings especially when the spellchecker flags a word as misspelled. Legal terms are usually the words that get flagged down such that I find myself checking the dictionary more frequently than ever. It's good if I do find the word, but it's really annoying when some Spanish-sounding Latin word or vice versa will be forever redlined by the editor. And to add to that, hyphenated and compound words are starting to confuse me.

* Mental note: I need to start checking the different manuals of style I have and verify how legal citations should be formatted. I only have the APA and MLA manuals of style, but I know the main library has the Chicago Manual of Style. Anyway, something to do in the future.

Copyrightable Writing

I guess it's inevitable. After editing out large chunks of unnecessary information from the cases, I'm compelled to start looking at the literary result as something I owned even if it is not completely original.

I'm wondering: Where does plagiarism end and originality begin? Well, it's about time I put the following saying to the test: "If you copy from one source, it's plagiarism. If you copy from many sources, it's research."
