Footnotes

Presidential Address delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Law & Society Association, Baltimore, Maryland, July 8, 2006. In preparing this piece, I have benefited enormously from conversations with a number of colleagues, including Howie Erlanger, Rosann Greenspan, Christine Harrington, Bob Kagan, Jack Katz, Felice Levine, John Mueller, Laura Stark, Brian Tamanaha, and Dvorah Yannow. Needless to say, the views expressed are my own.
