Manuscript Editing for University of Richmond Law Review Journal Articles
The University of Richmond Law Review has been dedicated to advancing legal scholarship since 1958, when it began as the University of Richmond Law Notes. It became a student-run Law Review in 1968, with volume three, and has taken a more national focus since about 1991. The flagship journal of the University of Richmond School of Law publishes four issues each academic year, including an Annual Survey of Virginia Law and a symposium issue.
The Law Review receives articles, comments, essays, and reviews throughout the year. Each submission includes an abstract, a resume, and the manuscript. Online edition pieces are recommended at 5,000 to 10,000 words and run no more than 20,000, footnotes included. Editors check citations against The Bluebook, 21st edition, and the final read checks conformity with The Chicago Manual of Style. An accepted piece passes through a cite check, a Manuscript Edit, a Final Edit, an author read, and page and book proofs. Suggested changes are approved with the author, who has 48 hours to approve the final copy before print. Our law review editing applies both manuals before the piece reaches the editors. Submissions go through Scholastica, the preferred route for print.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the University of Richmond 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 University of Richmond Law Review.
The Law Review's submissions page covers what to send and where to send it. 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 West Virginia Law Review and the University of Louisville Law Review.
