Let me extend special thanks to Dean Thomas M. Mengler of the College of Law, Professor Robert F. Rich, immediate past Director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, and Professor Jack H. Knott, Director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, for their help in sponsoring this Symposium. I owe a special debt of gratitude to my colleague, Russell Korobkin, who originally suggested the idea of this Symposium and then undertook much of the hard work of bringing it to fruition. We owe special thanks to Chris Moore, Atul Saran, and Stacey White of the Board of Editors of the University of Illinois Law Review, who helped greatly in putting the Symposium together and editing the contributions, and to Rita Grider and Terri MacFarlane of the College of Law for their able and timely assistance in making all the arrangements.
