This volume differs from many, as almost all the authors are practicing attorneys – meaning that they are capable of providing unique insights into how the business community is affected by trade issues. The time they put into their chapters was time lost dealing with important client matters, but represents an overall gain to the business community at large. The Editors gratefully acknowledge their contributions to this work.

The Editors also gratefully acknowledge the guidance provided by our Advisory Board who helped us resolve many difficult problems. They were always ready to lend an ear when their services were required. In particular, we would like to thank Jennifer Brant whose help proved invaluable on many occasions.
