Honour Code

UOLLB® goes above and beyond to help you not just get good results in law exams, but also expand your legal education by connecting you with new topics, concepts, and ideas.

We are dedicated to providing high-quality academic resources to help you learn and study more effectively, and we're equally committed to ensuring proper usage and protecting ownership of those resources.

It is perfectly legitimate to use UOLLB and UOL study notes to facilitate learning and exam preparation. However, concerns may be raised regarding fairness as students making use of law notes and learning materials can easily outperform their peers.

We believe that students studying with us make use of our law notes and learning materials in the manner which is intended. Nevertheless, we have implemented UOL Honour Code to give you an idea of how to make the most out of UOLLB and UOL study notes. Upon purchase, all students must confirm that they have read, understood, and agreed to comply with the following Honour Code.

We expect our students to act with academic integrity. Therefore, anyone who misuses our study materials for the express purpose of cheating and/or claiming the content as their own will be met with appropriate action. Review our rules for proper use below:

DO

1. Use UOLLB and UOL study notes to study more effectively and to better understand your course material.
2. Use UOLLB and UOL study notes to assist with your assignments and open-book exams when appropriate.
3. Use UOLLB and UOL study notes in a manner that follows the academic honour code of your institution.

DON’T

1. Don’t copy directly from UOLLB and UOL study notes and submit the paper as your own work.
2. Don’t use UOLLB and UOL study notes to complete assignments or exams when instructed not to use outside help.
3. Don’t use UOLLB and UOL study notes in any manner that violates the academic honour code of your institution.

Plagiarism is ill-advised for several reasons:

First, by stealing someone else’s ideas, you are not bothering to learn and become familiar with the legal concepts yourself. Cheating only erodes the value of education, and you will learn nothing in the end.

Second, you will likely get caught. Many universities leverage sophisticated technologies to scan for plagiarised texts in papers submitted by students.

Third, the consequences are severe, and for many institutions, convictions of academic dishonesty can result in probation, suspension, or even expulsion.

Instead of plagiarising, you are advised to rewrite in your own words and provide proper citations. Check out our highly-acclaimed Law Exam Guide for how to paraphrase and reference sources effectively.
