When I write a law review article, I usually include in the author’s footnote a brief note of thanks to the student research assistants who helped me on that article. When I write a book, I thank my research assistants in the preface.

My research assistant also helps me from time to time with research related to this blog. (Yes, I actually research some of the things I write on this blog. Hard to believe, isn’t it?) Blogs don’t have prefaces or author’s footnotes, so there’s no convenient way to acknowledge his help. I decided to give him his own blog post.

My thanks to Stephen Knudsen, University of Nebraska College of Law Class of 2015, for the assistance his has given me over the past year on this blog. (He is, of course, totally responsible for anything I wrote that you found objectionable or wrong.) The two or three people who read what I write here are now aware of his contribution and he can provide the link to his parents, almost doubling my usual readership.
