As was true in the last edition, this book is the product of a team effort and

we thank the many people who made it possible. We start with each of the

authors in this edition and those who contributed to the rst edition but were

not involved in the book. Their hard work and generous contribution of their

time and expertise made this book possible.

This edition benetted substantially from a complete independent editorial

review by Ridgely Jackson, an associate with Laurie & Brennan LLP, whose

experience as an editor prior to law school made her especially well quali-

ed for this task. The editors are very grateful for her important contribution

to this book. We also extend our thanks to the ABA Forum on Construction

Law for its continued strong support of this project. David Scotti, chair of the

Publications Committee, provided invaluable, unwavering support as the book

progressed. Special thanks also go to recent Forum chairs Wendy Venoit and

Thomas Rosenberg for their support of the book. Milca Feliciano and Belinda

Lambert made important contributions through their support in connection

with the preparation of the manuscript and made the editors’ job much easier.

We want to extend special thanks to our co-editor on the rst edition, William

Allensworth. William’s input in the rst edition is an invaluable contribution

to the second. We also want to acknowledge the contribution of the late Holt

Gwyn, the author of the chapter on the economic loss rule in the rst edition.

Holt’s work has been revised and updated in this edition, but his voice in the

chapter remains strong.

Finally, we thank ABA Publishing and our editor, Sarah Forbes Orwig, and

Courtney Coffman, production manager for the book at Lachina, for their con-

tributions to the publications process.
