If I create a Medical Advance Directive in Georgia by copying large amounts of text from the Georgia code do I need to place quotation marks on the entire document?
Hello ****. Generally, when quoting from legal documents like the Georgia code, you should include quotation marks or some form of citation to avoid issues of plagiarism. However, in the context of a Medical Advance Directive, it's more important to ensure the document is legally binding in your state, North Carolina.
No, I'm in Georgia
