Academic issues have been taken to the courts before. Allan Bakke, for instance, challenged the affirmative-action policies of the medical school of the University of California at Davis, which led to the famous 1978 Supreme Court ruling limiting the university's discretion to set its own admissions ground rules. But this appears to be the first time that a case of academic plagiarism has been fought in a civil court. And while public universities like U.C.
