"Plagiarism is not something the bar would approve of."

Surely you jest, Mister Feynman. Law is all about plagiarism. One of the most valuable assets in any firm is the server directory with libraries of pleadings, motions, complaints, etc. - from every source they can get them.

First thing to do when filing in an unfamiliar jurisdiction and/or judge is to pull down pleadings/motions/etc. from that jurisdiction/judge in the relevant subject matter area and see what worked and what didn't, then you cut-and-paste what you can from relevant filings that worked or sound good.

It has been this way since forever. Most everything is law is a hodgepodge of plagiarized text and arguments.
