hlr-student-editor-review
Use when working with Harvard Law Review (HLR) student editors after an offer — the intensive substantive and technical edit, the cite-check / source-pull, and author responsiveness. Manages the relationship and process; it does not run the pre-offer placement (hlr-placement-strategy) or the author-side cite apparatus build (hlr-footnotes-and-cite-check).

# Student-Editor Review (hlr-student-editor-review) 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. ## When to trigger - You have an offer and the editing process is beginning - Editors sent a marked-up draft, queries, or a source-pull request - You disagree with an edit and need to decide how to respond - A deadline for returning the edit or sources is approaching ## What the HLR edit involves | 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 /

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
