Individual skill
jle-rebuttal
Use when a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) decision letter arrives (R&R or conditional accept) and a response-to-referees letter plus a revision plan must be drafted. Plans and structures the response; it does not run the new analysis (jle-identification / jle-robustness) or the submission preflight (jle-submission).

# Rebuttal & Response Letter (jle-rebuttal)
## When to trigger
- A JLE **R&R** or **conditional acceptance** decision letter has arrived
- You need to triage referee comments into must-do / argue / defer
- You are drafting the response-to-referees document and revision plan
- A reject-and-resubmit invitation needs a strategy before re-engaging
## How to read a JLE decision
The handling editor's letter is the **priority signal**: it tells you which referee concerns are binding and which are optional. At JLE the binding asks are almost always about (1) **whether the legal institution is described correctly and the rule binds as claimed**, and (2) **the credibility of the legal identification** (the staggered-timing estimator, the parallel-trends story, the random-assignment defense), before exposition. Because review is **single-blind**, the editor and referees know who you are — a gracious, evidence-led, non-defensive tone is worth more than at a blinded journal, and self-citation should stay honest. Address the editor's stated priorities first and in full; the revision is judged on whether the **identification and institutional concerns are genuinely resolved**, not on the volume of new tables.
