The journal has such a unique and distinguished history, and makes an important contribution to each of the fields it covers. It's been a pleasure to serve on the ICLQ Editorial Board for the past seven years, under the brilliant leadership of Sir Malcolm Evans, and I look forward to this new chapter in my work with the journal.”
