Manuscript Editing for Law and History Review Journal Articles
Law and History Review is an international journal of legal history that furthers research in the social history of law and the history of legal ideas and institutions. It publishes articles, essays, commentaries by international authorities, and reviews of important legal history books. Cambridge University Press publishes it quarterly for the American Society for Legal History.
The guidelines set no word limit. A separate abstract of up to 200 words states the main argument and contribution. Citations follow modified Chicago style in notes, with full notes at first citation and shortened forms after. Federal cases appear in the notes at first mention. Review is double-anonymous, with author details and a competing-interests declaration on a separate title page. Manuscripts are double-spaced in 12-point type, with at most two heading levels. Any use of generative AI is declared with the tool, version, and dates. Our editors convert supra and infra to see above and see below. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Law and History 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.
