For those keeping score at home, the tally of plagiarism scandals at Harvard and Yale law schools stands as follows: Harvard 3, Yale 1. That is according to the Columbia law professor Michael Dorf.
The most recent addition to the club is the Yale law professor Ian Ayres, who has acknowledged that several passages in his 2007 book Super Crunchers contain unattributed reproductions or nearly identical paraphrases of other sources. (The Yale Daily News found nine such instances.) In a statement to the Yale Daily News, Ayres says that his citations are proper for a book intended for a popular audience but that he will make changes in future printings of the book.
