Manuscript Editing for Louisiana Law Review Journal Articles
Founded in 1938, the Louisiana Law Review is the student-edited flagship journal of the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center. It aims to advance the law by publishing articles, essays, practitioners' notes, and book reviews, and it trains students through comments and case notes. Since its founding it has emphasized comparative and civil law, and it calls itself a leader in comparative and Louisiana law since 1938.
The Review publishes legal articles and essays, commentaries on legislation or cases, and book reviews. Articles under 25,000 words including footnotes are preferred, and longer pieces appear only in exceptional circumstances. Footnotes follow The Bluebook, 21st edition, together with the Louisiana Citation and Style Manual. Textual style and usage conform to The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style, 4th edition. Each submitted article is previously unpublished, and electronic files go in Microsoft Word format. The Board of Editors reserves the right to alter style and format as it considers necessary. Our law review editing applies all three manuals and brings the draft toward 25,000 words. Submissions go through Scholastica or by email.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Louisiana 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 Louisiana Law Review.
The Review's submissions page covers length, citation manuals, 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 University of Memphis Law Review and the Tulsa Law Review.
