Top Law Schools

Ignore this user- hypemachine.

IGNORE!!!!!!

He has stolen my personal statement and diversity statement. This website is supposed to be a safe place to swap information and he has taken mine to copy. Please be aware.

What can I do?? Should I contact law schools about this?? I've worked on both for over two months

how do you know they did this?

Wait, what? How do you know they stole it?

He's been emailing me after I said that I knew what he was up to. He said, "do what you want because you don't know my real name. I can use what I want."

do you have any idea what schools he intends to apply to?

Expecting mods in here in 3....2....1....

I'm pretty upset because of the amount of time that I put into my statements. He didn't mention the schools to me, but I mentioned all the schools that I intended on applying to.

OP - Have you submitted a complaint to the mods?

Also, I would contact LSAC. Make sure you saved those e-mails.

TITCR!! absolutely make sure you save the emails

you should've copyrighted that shit.

maybe a quick addendum to your schools that says something like "in the course of peer reviewing my essays, someone threatened to use my personal statements. In case this happens, I would be happy to provide any independent information to verify that the story in indeed my own"
that sucks, good luck

Thank you. This means a lot.

Yeah, seriously. Here is what you should do:

1. E-mail a TLS moderator and ask how to proceed.
2. Contact LSAC and tell them what happened. Attach copies of the e-mails from the guy/girl who stole it.

Maybe legal action? I dunno.

And a question about whether schools "would know" if he/she checked PR without being PR. seems a sketchy fellow.

I'm not a lawyer but isn't copyright passively vested in the creator? Registration of that copyright is something of a different matter.

HAHA. It's called the internet. Seriously, if you lack that much common sense, wtf will happen to you post law school? I can tell you: Peter Griffin overseeing the e-discovery process of an anti-trust suit. Christ, I would be embarrassed to report this shit to LSAC. Panera is hiring. Cut your loses.

Dude, I was kidding.

Honestly, just re-write both of them. Not much you can do.

Under what theory?

Or just write another personal statement about your TLS matter. I am sure it will be equal in terms of quality to the first. Overcoming hardship is money$
