McGill Proofreading and Editing Services

Our McGill editing service ensures that your legal writing meets the exacting standards of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation. Whether you're preparing a paper for law school, submitting to a legal journal, or finalizing a professional memorandum, our editors apply deep knowledge of Canadian legal writing conventions to polish and strengthen your work.

Here's what our McGill editing service includes:

• Legal Citation Review: We carefully assess your citations for accuracy, format, and completeness according to McGill guidelines—covering cases, statutes, journal articles, and international sources.
• Formatting and Structural Alignment: We refine document structure, headings, footnotes, and spacing to ensure full compliance with McGill formatting rules.
• Clarity and Coherence Editing: We improve sentence flow, paragraph transitions, and the logical organization of your analysis without compromising your legal argument.
• Legal Language Precision: Our editors revise for word choice, tone, and terminology—ensuring clear, accurate, and professional expression throughout.
• Consistency Checks: We correct internal inconsistencies in citations, terminology, punctuation, and stylistic elements across your entire document.
• Footnote and Endnote Corrections: All citation notes are reviewed and revised to ensure proper sequencing, format, and placement per McGill standards.
• Cross-Referencing and Linking: Internal references (e.g., 'supra' or 'see above') are checked for accuracy and logical flow.
• Supporting Apparatus Review: Tables of authorities, bibliographies, and appendices are edited for completeness, formatting accuracy, and McGill compliance.
• Comments and Recommendations: We provide notes suggesting ways to strengthen argumentation, remove redundancy, and enhance persuasive impact.
