ylj-writing-style

separate

Use when revising prose to match The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) house style — clear, generalist-legible legal writing with a disciplined footnote-to-text balance. It governs voice and readability; it does not format citations (ylj-sources-and-bluebook) or sequence the argument (ylj-argument-structure).

When to use

• revising prose to match YLJ house style
• improving generalist legibility
• balancing footnotes and text
• polishing voice and readability
• final polish pass before submission

When not to use

• formatting citations
• sequencing the argument
