Manuscript Editing for Missouri Law Review Journal Articles
Founded in 1936, the Missouri Law Review is an entirely student-run and student-edited journal. It publishes Lead Articles by law professors, practitioners, and judges, along with student Comments, Casenotes, and Law Summaries. The University of Missouri School of Law publishes it quarterly.
The Editorial Board generally selects articles on legal questions of national relevance or of particular interest to the practice of law in Missouri. Student work in the Review comes from its Associate Members. Email submissions arrive as Microsoft Word files, with an abstract in the email body and the author's contact information. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Our law review editing tightens the abstract and checks each footnote for consistent form. Submissions go through Scholastica, the preferred route, and email and mail are also accepted.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Missouri 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 Missouri 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 Missouri Law Review.
The Review's submissions page covers Scholastica, email, and mail submissions. 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 Arkansas Law Review and the Baylor Law Review.
