jle-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a law-and-economics project belongs at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) rather than the Journal of Legal Studies, JLEO, or the American Law and Economics Review, and what its central legal/regulatory question should be. Sets venue fit and question scope; it does not design the identification (see jle-identification).

When to use

• deciding venue fit for JLE
• distinguishing JLE from Journal of Legal Studies
• distinguishing JLE from JLEO
• distinguishing JLE from American Law and Economics Review
• defining central legal or regulatory question
• sharpening the research question
• checking institutional mechanics
• confirming project is JLE-shaped

When not to use

• designing identification
• designing theoretical models
• doctrinal legal scholarship
• organizational governance studies
• generic applied-micro papers
• pure mechanism-design or contract theory
