603 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. 6 (2006)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0603 and id is 1 raw text is: Preface By RICHARD E. D. SCHWARTZ 6 The vision and generosity of a law dean made this issue of The Annals possible. Hannah Arterian, dean of the Syracuse University Col- lege of Law, gave crucial support to a project that came to be known as the Syracuse Confer- ence. The conference, held at Syracuse in mid- April 2005, brought together a remarkable group of scholars to consider the topic, Legal Evolution: Toward a World Rule of Law. The papers prepared for that conference comprise the basis for this volume and for a companion issue of the Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce. In 2003, Dean Arterian asked me how I would like to mark the occasion of my retirement, after twenty-five years of teaching there. She sug- gested a conference. Before long, we agreed that I would design the conference in any way I wished-and that she would allocate the funds needed to support it. The volume you have before you resulted from that conversation- and from the planning, writing, and meetings that followed. In February 2004, I began seriously planning for the Syracuse Conference. Working from a new residence in Connecticut, I had generous help from Robin Paul Malloy, Linda Zimack, and Theresa Coulter in Syracuse and from Jenne Lea Hayden, my staff person in and around New Haven. The conference itself, and the publications that issue from it, evince their remarkably competent assistance. I thank them all for their wonderful work. Richard E. D. Schwartz is Ernest I. White Professor Emeritus at the College of Law, Syracuse University, and senior research scholar at Yale Law School. He has also held positions at Northwestern University and the State University o f New York at Buffalo. He is the found- ing editor o f the Law & Society Review. His publications include Criminal Law: Theory and Process (with Joseph Goldstein and Alan Dershowitz) and Unobtrusive Mea- sures, 2nd ed. (with Webb, Campbell, and Sechrest). His special field of interest is in the sociology of law, speci fi- cally law and society, the proliferation of democracy, and the world rule of law.
