I am grateful to the 2002 Law and Society Association/Canadian Law and Society Association Program committee and to the Canadian Law and Society Association leadership for showing me firsthand the importance of the themes I address in this article. I thank Hilary Sommerlad for our conversation in Oxford, which encouraged me to tackle this topic. I greatly appreciate the helpful feedback, comments, and suggestions I received from David Engel, Laura Margan, and Barbara Yngvesson.
