The author thanks Ronen Avraham, Howard Beales, Nevin Gewertz, Bernard Harcourt, Uri Itkin, Sarah Lawsky, Ronald Lee, Doug Lichtman, Tom Miles, Beth Milnikel, Jide Nzelibe, Adam Samaha, Max Schanzenbach, Paul Schwartz, David Weisbach, and Noah Zatz for their comments and suggestions, Levi Giovanetto for research assistance, and the Morton C.

The author particularly thanks participants in The University of Chicago Law School’s Surveillance Symposium for their suggestions, as well as workshop participants at Northwestern and The University of Chicago.

My work on criminal justice has been greatly influenced by conversations with three extraordinary colleagues: Lawrence Friedman, Mark Kelman, and Robert Weisberg. I thank them for their generous willingness to share their thoughts on the field. Needless to say, I absolve them (and anyone else) of responsibility for any errors or omissions.

The authors would like to thank Jason Friedman, Ben Schaye, and Grace Tabib for excellent research assistance. The authors also thank participants in workshops at Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, and the University of Minnesota School of Law for helpful comments.

The research for and writing of this Review was done during my time as Julius E. Davis Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Mason Ladd Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Iowa. It is a pleasure to thank the University of Minnesota Law School and Law Library and the University of Iowa College of Law and Law Library for excellent research support. It is also a pleasure to thank Daniel Klerman and Robert Levy for comments on a draft of this Review.
