Acknowledgments
The research that forms the basis of this book could not have been conducted without the cooperation of the many lawyers and other legal professionals, business people, corporate officers, government officials, scholars, and other individuals interviewed for the different the chapters. In order to encourage candor and respect the professional careers of those involved and their organizations, we agreed to keep the identity of our interviewees confidential, except when they agreed to be identified. We gratefully acknowledge their willingness to give of their time and to share their knowledge, experience, and perspectives. The collaborative effort that produced this book was initiated by an international conference sponsored by Stanford Law School in 2014 through its Center for the Legal Profession, and a generous gift from Sidley Austin LLP.
