(p. xv) Acknowledgments
This project would not have been possible without the cooperation of our outstanding contributors, whose patience and hard work we greatly appreciate. Several other individuals also made this volume possible. First, we thank our Graduate Assistant Thomas K. Valentine, who served as the Technical and Project Editor for this volume and remained dedicated to ensuring that the authors were supported through the drafting process and that the administrative tasks associated with an edited volume were completed. We are grateful for his persistence and dedication to detail. We also thank Olivia Wells, Assistant Commissioning Editor for Oxford University Press, for her great care and helpfulness in completing this volume. Finally, we note, with sadness, that one of our contributors, Professor Donald Songer, passed away before the volume went to press. Don was a wonderful colleague and mentor and a creative scholar in the field of Law and Courts and we are so pleased that his work is included here (co-authored with Susan Haire). (p. xvi)
