Acknowledgments to the Third Edition
Once again, I give special thanks to the anonymous reviewers who sent suggestions for the third edition. I also thank the students, teachers, and practitioners who sent comments, notified me of typos, or who inspired changes in other ways.
I fear listing some, for fear I will leave out someone important, but they include Mark Armstrong, Theresa Cunniff, Susan DeJarnatt, Terri Enns, Paul Giorgianni, Terry Hagen, Traci Martinez, Sheridan McKinney, Amanda McNeil, Marek Pienkos, Pierce Reed, Sarah Ricks, Carla Scherr, and Beth Uhrich.My colleague at Ohio State, Monte Smith, provided wise counsel and guidance on occasions too numerous to count. I am also thankful for the help of many at Aspen, and I am particularly grateful for the guidance—and necessary nudging—provided by Dana Wilson.
You will see the name “Kobacker” and “Marvin Kobacker” sprinkled throughout the examples in the text and in Appendix C. The “honor” of being used in these entirely fictional contexts was an auction item at an event benefitting Ohio State’s Public Interest Law Foundation and was purchased as a gift by his son, James Kobacker.
