In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments T he editors wish to thank the following former and current members of the West Virginia University College of Law Faculty: Joyce E. McConnell, William J. Maier, Jr. Dean & Thomas R. Goodwin Professor of Law; John W. Fisher II, William J. Maier, Jr. Dean Emeritus & Professor of Law; Robert M. Bastress, John W. Fisher II Professor of Law; and Michael V. Risch, Associate Professor of Law. Although each of these individuals provided background support for this project, none of them reviewed any of the drafts of this book before its publication. Rather, Professor cummings reviewed the commercialization and race sections, and Professor Lofaso reviewed the labor and gender sections of this collection, with an eye toward allowing the authors to express themselves as freely as possible. All errors, therefore, are the authors’. The editors also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Hodges Faculty Research Grant provided through the West Virginia University College of Law. The editors acknowledge with appreciation the administrative assistance of West Virginia University College of Law employees Karen Feather, Lori Mobley, Lilly Moody, Bertha Romine, Toni Sebree, Debbie Swiney, Renee Sulipeck, and especially, Anna DeWitt. The editors also gratefully acknowledge the editorial assistance of the following employees of the West Virginia University Press: Carrie Mullen, Director; Than Saffel, Production Coordinator and Designer; Rachel Rosolina, Danielle Zahoran, and Rachel King, Editorial and Production Assistants; and Abby Freeland, Marketing Manager. The editors gratefully acknowledge the editorial assistance of West Virginia University College of Law Writing Specialist, Jean Dailey, and the imagery of cover artist Raymond Verdaguer.

We are very grateful for the organizational assistance and supervisory research help of the following West Virginia University College of Law graduates: Stacey Evans, Brandon Shumaker, Bethany Swaton, and Kimberly Murphy. We are additionally grateful for the exceptional research assistance of West Virginia University College of Law student editors Robert Dixon, Kimberly Matras, Brian Welch, Andrew Mitchell, Crystal Canterbury, Joseph Garcia, Steven Grubbs, Alvin Hathaway, Brant Lowe, Andrea Johnson, Abdulaziz Yousuf, Christopher John x ...
