I provide editing and proofreading services for academic and educational materials, specialising in legal textbooks. A qualified solicitor with a first-class degree in law and a distinction at master’s level, my background in the legal profession gives me the knowledge and understanding to edit legal materials to the highest standards.
Few things are more distracting in an academic publication or textbook than errors. Remembering my days as a law student and, prior to that, a linguistics undergraduate, I can attest to this from first-hand experience. Accuracy is the cornerstone of legal text, and it is imperative that mistakes are omitted from all learning materials and books.
Legal editing requires a particular skill set. Even a highly qualified editor is likely to miss the distinction between, for example, ’cause of action’ and ‘course of action’. My background in legal practice has given me a strong knowledge of legal terminology as well as practical experience in producing legal documentation.
