Manuscript Editing for Ohio State Law Journal Articles
First published in 1935 as the Law Journal of the Student Bar Association, the Ohio State Law Journal is a general-interest review. A student management and staff at the Michael E. Moritz College of Law publish it six times a year, with articles by professors, practitioners, and students.
The Journal accepts scholarly articles of national interest on significant legal issues in the United States and worldwide. Print articles carry no stated length limit. OSLJ Online takes essays, responses, and notes of 2,500 to 5,000 words including footnotes. The Sixth Circuit Review prefers 1,000 to 2,000 words including footnotes. A cover letter with contact information and an email address is required. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Our editors edit the cover letter along with the article. Submissions go through Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Ohio State Law Journal
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 Ohio State Law Journal.
The Journal's submission guidelines cover scope, cover letters, and Scholastica. 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 Iowa Law Review and the Wisconsin Law Review.
