Although it wasmighty intimidating to present a paper at a conference for those whose scholarship is in legalwriting, it was also exhilarating, and I’m also extremely grateful to my co-panelists—Scott Bice,Christine Coughlin, Molly Lien, Sandy Patrick, Arnold Siegel, and Deborah Schmedemann—and to the audience for giving me such good food for thought.
