*    Professor, Fordham University School of Law. I am grateful to Marc Arkin, Steve
Bainbridge, Jim Brudney, Victor Brudney, Perry Dane, Jill Fisch, Martin Flaherty, Phil Frickey,
Don Langevoort, Mark Patterson and Adam Pritchard for their help with this Article.
This Article was substantially complete when the Supreme Court granted certiorari in
United States v. O'Hagan, 1997 U.S. LEXIS 4033 (June 25, 1997), which is discussed herein. I
participated in the preparation of an amicus brief supporting the government in that case, filed
on behalf of the North American Securities Administrators' Association, Inc., and a group of law
professors. The statutory findings discussed in this Article were also discussed in that brief.
