Like many of you, I have been reading Litigation for years. In fact, I joined the Section of Litigation while still in law school and have now been a member for three decades. Each time we survey Section membership, this journal is always listed as the favorite benefit of belonging to the Section. I am also among those who have retained most issues of Litigation I have received over the years. The reprised articles in this issue remind us of why we so enjoy the publication.
