The Jurisdictional Label: Use and Misuse
* J.D. Candidate, Stanford Law School, 2006; B.A., Williams College, 2003. I would like to thank Alan Morrison for his help and guidance throughout the writing process, Frank Lees and Fran Mascia-Lees for their keen editing and much-needed encouragement, and the members of the editing team at the Stanford Law Review for their helpful comments. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Norm Spaulding, not only for his valuable insights on this topic, but also for his unending support and mentorship.
