Co-Editors’ Note

Producing four issues of the Law & Society Review each year is a

team effort. As we look back over our time as co-editors, we are

cognizant of the tremendous contributions made by all members

of the larger journal team. We want to use this forward to thank

three particular groups central to the success of this journal over

the last three and a half years. We are saving our thanks for

Danielle McClellan, our Managing Editor, to the next issue, as her

contributions deserve a note of their own; the journal simply

wouldn’t happen without her.

In this forward, then, we begin by recognizing the work that has

been done by our large and diligent collection of peer reviewers. It

is time-consuming to line up the requisite number of reviewers for

all stages and versions that manuscripts go through en route to

publication. But, almost universally, the scholars who commit to this

review work have been conscientious and generous in the substan-

tive assistance their reviews provide authors. Thank you to these

hundreds of colleagues, around the world, who have been, and

continue to be, at the core of the integrity and quality of the Law &

Society Review.

We want also to thank our Associate Editors and Editorial Advi-

sory Board members. These individuals rose to the task of “quick-

turn-around reviews” and critical policy advice when situations

called for collaborative and consultative decision-making. The first

page of this issue lists their names. To all of them, the out-going

co-editors extend gratitude for support graciously given and jobs

well-done.

Finally, the work of co-editing could not have been done with-

out the behind the scenes work of the editorial assistants at our

three universities. The sheer number of submissions our journal

is so fortunate to receive make these editorial assistants essential

to getting manuscripts into the system and out for review. Margot

Young is grateful for the support of the Lew Fund of the Univer-

sity of British Columbia’s Allard School of Law for the hiring of

editorial assistance. She was fortunate to have had two exemplary

graduate student assistants across the three years. Her first
