If I land the plane, I log it. If they land the plane I don't. If I help just to make a landing better, I don't log it. If I have to assist to change a crash into a landing, I log it.

That sounds just about right, with some students, it almost seems you get to log every landing that way!

I'm a horrible record keeper, so I would usually just remark the students name. Now, the days I soloed them, or signed them off for anything else I might note it after their name, but that was it.

I only log landings if I am counting it towards recency requirements. If I demonstrate a landing to a student and I remember to, I might log it.

I don't. Logging landing for currency requires that the pilot logging it be the sole manipulator of the controls. There isn't any other official reason for logging landings and logging them otherwiste could be considered logbook falsification. I guess you could include some marginal notitation that says the landings don't count, but i don't see a reason to bother.

Lawyer looks for a record of 61.87 and 61.93, can't find one and therefore, in their eyes, it never happened. Granted, most CFIs doen't have enough to make it worthwhile to sue, but it makes life much easier if you can prove you did your job.

I see JSF posted while I was typing. If you work out of a 141 flight school, they will have records of the lessons. If you're just a stand alone 61 person, clone everything.
I second this. CYA in case you ever end up in court.
