Critchlow has a widespread reputation as an excellent editor
through his many years editing the Journal of Policy History,
arguably the journal most relevant to the proposed reference work,
and the related conferences. He literally knows hundreds of people
and, more important, knows precisely about each potential
contributor's greatest interest and strengths. it is important that
conceptual entries are also included, e.g., "Executive Power,
Origins and Debate Over" or "Living Constitution
(legal concept)."
I certainly can imagine suggesting the work to students with
particular interests in political or legal history, and, yes, I
would certainly be likely to consult the work myself.
