2 This article was supported by a grant from the Georgetown University Law Center. I would like to thank my colleagues at the Law Center for their efforts on my behalf. Michael Seidman and Steven Goldberg have been a continual source of guidance and encouragement. I am also grateful to Robin West for her enthusiastic support of my research. I am especially thankful for the hard work of my (2007-2008) 1L students, who struggled mightily, and with good grace, with many of this article’s principal (and most perplexing) concerns, and for the dedication of the truly stellar group of law fellows (Rupal Doshi, Kevin Glandon, Catherine Grealis, Molly Gulland, Sonia Ignatova, and Benjamin Vaughn) who ensured that the struggle was such a productive one.
