Thought to ponder...

Let's say that an attorney(s) representing a defendant submitted evidence to the Court as follows:

The attorney(s) presented that a particular book is the defendant's guide.  When in reality it is not.  The defendant's attorney(s) removed the copyright page when it produced pages from the book as an exhibit to the Court.  You see the copyright page would prove the falsification of evidence as it would show who the actual author is.  Knowing this, the attorney(s) would certainly have to remove this true evidence in his/her effort to obstruct justice.

Wouldn't this conduct constitute plagiarism by the attorney(s) and defendant?

Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud.

It would seem to me that such falsification of evidence, perjury, and obstruction of justice could lead to disbarment by said attorney(s) who engaged in such (mis)conduct.

Disbarment is a revocation of a lawyer's ability to practice law or argue cases.

Generally disbarment is imposed as a sanction for conduct indicating that an attorney is not fit to practice law, willfully disregarding the interests of a client, or engaging in fraud which impedes the administration of justice.

In addition, any lawyer who is convicted of a felony is automatically disbarred in most jurisdictions.

See my posts below titled "Perjury, Felony, Imprisonment" and "A Lesson On Lawsuits" for details on the crimes of perjury and subornation of perjury.   They are category D felonies resulting in imprisonment for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 4 years.
