Question by Kathryn: Is copy and pasting from a legal template plagiarism?
I’m a contract for a law class. My group mates pretty much just copy and pasted the example we were given, but that seems wrong to me. They claim that legal templates are supposed to be used that way. Am I wrong?

I would clarify that with the instructor as plagiarism can lead to expulsion.
