jle-referee-strategy
Use when anticipating the objections a law-and-economics referee at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision. Plans the defense around JLE's single-blind process; it does not draft the response letter (jle-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (jle-submission).

# Referee Strategy (jle-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The paper is near submission and you want to stress-test it against the referees it will draw - You need to decide which robustness/legal-design checks to run *before* submitting vs. hold in reserve - An R&R arrived and you must map referee concerns to concrete responses - You want to understand how JLE's single-blind process shapes strategy ## How JLE review works (plan around it) JLE uses **single-blind review**: the **authors' identities are visible to referees** (the title page carries your name), while referees stay anonymous (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This changes strategy in two ways. First, **do not anonymize the manuscript** — that is the AEJ/JLEO reflex, not JLE; the title page should name you. Second, because referees know who you are, your **track record and your self-citations are visible**, so positioning honestly and not over-claiming matters more, not less. Referees here are **economists who also know the legal institution**; the modal report attacks (1) whether the institution is described correctly and the rule really binds, (2) the credibility of the legal identification, then (3) magnitude/mechanism and ex

What does the jle-referee-strategy skill do?
Use when anticipating the objections a law-and-economics referee at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jle-referee-strategy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 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.
