No book would be complete without an acknowledgment of the work done by the many whose names do not appear as "author" but nonetheless contributed enormously to the effort, in particular, I would like to thank the many courthouse facilitators who contributed to the work, as well as my webmaster and Internet guru, Todd Johnstone, for his supreme knowledge and patience. Many thanks to Darla Goodwin for her dedication and expertise, and to my assistant, Elisabeth Yaroschuk. I wish to thank Columbia Legal Services and their team of able attorneys on staff. I am indebted to Ed Sherman for his valuable advice and inspiration. And lastly, thanks to my wife, Diane, for her many years of support and understanding.
