Craft Matters: Seven Tips for Legal Scholars

Liz Fisher

Journal of Environmental Law, 2023, vol. 35, issue 1, 11-20

Abstract: In this commentary, the metaphor of craft is deployed to provide seven tips for legal scholars. These seven tips are forms of practical advice, which also raise questions about how legal scholarship is understood. These tips are based on the experience of editing the Journal of Environmental Law between 2012 and 2022. The seven tips are: producing legal scholarship takes time; don't get distracted from focusing on quality; read widely; know what you are trying to produce; fidelity to material matters; cherish refereeing and revision; and recognise the value of scholarly communities.
