Acknowledgments I have received help and encouragement in preparing this book from so many people that the specific thanks recorded here will be sure to leave out some indi- viduals who deserve to be recognized individually. I apologize, in advance, for those omissions. This book would not have been written if Yale Kamisar and Jerry Israel hadn't excited my interest in constitutional criminal procedure at the University of Michigan Law School some twenty years ago. They were superb teachers from whom I continue to learn to this day. I am grateful, too, to have had the benefit of an all-star roster of faculty col- leagues interested in the constitutional regulation of criminal justice. Wayne LaFave, Gerry Bradley, Kit Kinports, John Nowak, and Andy Leipold, long-time colleagues at the University of Illinois, shaped my thinking in countless conversa- tions. Barry Feld, Richard Frase, Mike Tonry, Jack Cound, and Mike Paulsen have engaged me in the same way for the last several years at the University of Min- nesota. The book also has improved due to the comments I received during faculty workshops at the University of Minnesota and Washington University law schools. Some of the initial research for this project was done during a sabbatical leave from Illinois. I am grateful to Dean Howard Hunter and the Emory University School of Law for providing an office and research privileges during that period. Tom Mengler and Tom Sullivan, deans respectively at Illinois and Minnesota, supplied generous research support at every point. Both at Illinois and Minnesota, I have been blessed by access to superb li- braries and by the assistance of superb librarians. Only the diligence of a team of excellent research assistants—Ryan Brauer, Derek Fitch, Jeff Harrington, and Nicole Saharsky—made the preparation of the final manuscript possible.
