In addition to those who offered advice in the original creation of this book, and in earlier editions, I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Andrew Perlman, of the Suffolk University Law School faculty, for reviewing parts of the manuscript.
As always, I appreciate the excellent support and advice provided by the editors at Wolters Kluwer, including Carol McGeehan. Thanks, too, to Peter Skagestad, Lisa Connery, and Rebecca Logan for their patient and professional assistance in guiding the manuscript through the book production process.
