B.A., Emory University, 1986; J.D., Vanderbilt Law School, 1989. I am grateful to my colleague Professor Walter Hellerstein for his numerous thoughtful comments and suggestions. The Article benefited greatly from his insights. I would also like to express special gratitude to my three superb research assistants Pam Brannon, Merritt McAlister, and Rob Snyder, who were each essential to different aspects of this project. Finally, I would be remiss ifI did not thank my wife Kim for her constant support, encouragement, and willingness to read and re-read a seemingly unending parade of drafts.
