Proud of this 20th printing of this volume I co-author with my former law partner, D’Arcy Hiltz.
Technically, next year’s Edition – 2025 will mark 20 years since the first Edition.
Grateful to Danann Hawes who first had the idea for this volume in 2005, to D’Arcy for co-authoring with me throughout 20 years and to our current project manager at LexisNexis, Hayley Dilazarro for her unfailing constant support and encouragement!
In 2025, we will throw a party to celebrate that milestone.
