HLR is **student-edited**: once your piece is accepted, smart law students — not anonymous faculty peers
HLR is student-edited: once your piece is accepted, smart law students — not anonymous faculty peers — run an intensive edit. Expect substantive pushback on the argument, heavy technical editing, and a full cite-check / source-pull in which editors verify every footnote against the actual source. This is more hands-on than peer review at most journals. This skill helps you work with the editors and protect your argument while clearing the process.
| Stage | What editors do | What they need from you |
|---|---|---|
| Substantive edit | Press the argument, flag gaps, ask for clarification or support | Defend, clarify, or revise — engage on the merits |
| Technical / line edit | Tighten prose, enforce house style and Bluebook | Approve or push back on specific changes |
| Cite-check / source-pull | Verify every footnote against the actual source | Provide pulled sources or exact pincites on demand, fast |
| Page proofs | Final formatting and corrections | Careful, timely proof review |
HLR editors will pull every source and confirm that each footnote actually supports the proposition, that quotations are accurate, and that pincites are correct. To survive it without pain:
