I don't know about accounting, but I have reviewed manuscripts for the
Journal of Law & Economics and for Management Science.  Neither of them
provided me with other reviews.

Other than JLE (and ABLJ), I don't know about the practices of the
relatively few other peer-reviewed law journals, such as Journal of
Legal Studies (U. of Chicago, as is JLE), Journal of Law, Economics, &
Organizations (Berkeley, I believe), or the relatively new Journal of
Empirical Legal Studies (Cornell).

A colleague has suggested that there may be a difference between 
accounting and law disciplines here. Any of the law type editors know 
whether this is true? (tho' I must say, the person who raised the issue 
to begin with was an accounting/finance type).
