Abstract

This invited commentary contains my personal reflections during my time as Editor-in-Chief of Law and Human Behavior, from 2005 to 2011. My term was a period of change for Law and Human Behavior. We initiated the process of establishing a team of associate editors who served as action editors. We successfully reduced the time between article submission and editorial decision. We changed publishers. My efforts to broaden the content of Law and Human Behavior, however, were not so successful. Overall, my team and I had a very good run.
