“Missing the Mark: Colombia's New, Extreme, and Ineffective Punishment for Plagiarism”
David Cromwell, JD Candidate (IP Concentration Track) 2013, University of Washington School of Law

Building off of his translation of a Colombian law review article discussing the case, David's comment addresses a recent Colombian Supreme Court of Justice ruling on plagiarism. That case sentenced a professor to two years in prison for plagiarizing her student's work. David's comment first argues that, particularly in light of recent Colombian free trade agreements, the case deserves attention. He then discusses the case and its ramifications on Colombian law, before pointing out the new standard's ultimate ineffectiveness in combating plagiarism.
