Manuscript Editing for Baylor Law Review Journal Articles
The Baylor Law Review publishes high-quality, practical legal scholarship on current legal issues and developments. Students at Baylor Law School edit it with faculty support. It appears three times a year, in the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
Articles carry no stated length limit, and the Review's practitioner focus leaves out book reviews, interdisciplinary articles, and pieces in CLE form. Citations appear in footnotes and follow The Bluebook, 20th edition, and the Texas Rules of Form. A cover letter gives the author's name, email address, and affiliation, and Microsoft Word is preferred. The Senior Executive Editors review each submission in coordination with the faculty. Our law review editing applies both the Bluebook and the Texas Rules of Form to every footnote. Submissions go through Scholastica, email, or mail to the Senior Executive Editors.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Baylor Law Review. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Baylor Law Review
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Baylor Law Review.
The Review's publication and submission page covers citation form, the cover letter, and how to submit. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our legal editing services include law review editing, line editing, Bluebook citation checking for form, and journal formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the UC Davis Law Review and the Arkansas Law Review.
