58 Am. J. Legal Hist. 1 (2018)

handle is hein.journals/amhist58 and id is 1 raw text is: American Journal of Legal History, 2018, 58, 1-3 doi: 10.1093/ajlh/njx041 Advance Access Publication Date: 15 January 2018 Editorial Editorial Alfred L. Brophy and Stefan Vogenauer Now that we are starting our third volume as co-editors of the relaunched American Journal of Legal History we want to write with news of some transitions and also about what the journal and its authors have achieved over the past two years. First the transi- tions. Roman Hoyos, who has been our book review editor for the Americas for the past two years, is leaving us. Roman is looking forward to spending time completing his forthcoming book on the people in state constitutional conventions in the middle of the nineteenth century. We have been fortunate to have his energy and his thought- fulness in putting interesting reviewers together with exciting recent books in the Americas. Moreover, Frederic Audren, who has been our book review editor for the rest of the world for the past two years, is leaving us. We very much appreciate Fr~d~ric's dedication. The book reviews have been some of the most exciting and most-read parts of the American Journal of Legal History over the past two years. While we say goodbye and a hearty thank you to Roman and Frederic we are also delighted to say hello to our new book review editors. Matthew Dyson of Oxford University is taking over as the book reviews editor for Europe and Lee B. Wilson of Clemson University is taking over as book reviews editor for the Americas. Soon we hope to be announcing a third book review editor, whose jurisdiction will cover the rest of the world. We are tremendously excited about the prospects for timely book reviews continuing their prominent place in the journal. The news of monographs that cross our desks on a daily basis convinces us that the field has never been more vibrant. Particularly because there are daily reminders from contemporary politics about the importance of the rule of law - and ways in which the rule of law is breaking down - we are also proud of the outstanding scholarship we have published over the past two years. From our inaugural issue on The Future of Legal History, back in March 2016 to the December 2017 issue we have published more than forty articles and essays. Since the relaunch, we have published authors from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The geographic diversity of our authors reflects also the diversity of time periods and topics of the scholarship we have published. The scholarship has spanned from the ancient world to the late twentieth century, with a preponderance dealing with subjects from the eighteenth to twentieth century. The topics of our articles and essays similarly reflect © The Author(s) 2018. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. For Permissions, please emai: journals.permissions@oup.com
