Acknowledgments

This has been an ambitious, complex project, and it would not have been possible without the substantial financial support that the Nebraska Governance and Technology Center received from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Nor would it have been possible without the institutional support of the University of Nebraska and its College of Law, which housed the Nebraska Governance and Technology Center.

We also thank our colleague Elana Zeide for her early help in shaping the project’s direction and recruiting contributors. Woody Barfield provided invaluable advice on what it takes to get a book like this published. And several student editors also helped get these chapters ready for print: McKinley Brock, Lauren Bruning, Anthony Budell, Robert Drust, Jeff Owusu-Ansah, Paige Ross, and Emma Schlenker. Finally, we thank Sarah Burns, the late-stage editor who consolidated these essays into a single work and whose thousands of small, sharp edits elevated the material in so many ways.
