Now more than ever, I believe it is our imperative to truly review the law with a focus on human stories. The articles ahead of you embody that guiding principle. Each of the twenty-four pieces in this Volume contribute a distinct voice to an ongoing conversation, one questioning the way we currently think about the law and its potential for improvement, its impact on our communities, and its role in our humanity. Like in the many decades of scholarship that came before it, the scope of discussion is vast. Volume 97 covers issues related to gender, race, incarceration, discrimination, language, environmental justice, public health, resource scarcity, immigration, marketplace competition, cybercrime, genocide, and more. The hard, steadfast work of the authors and editors is equally as vast. I would like to take this time to thank the individuals who make this immense project possible. To our authors, thank you for trusting Colorado Law Review with your ideas. We recognize the tremendous time and effort put into preparing a manuscript for publication. We are privileged to work with you and truly the better for it. Our team is grateful for the opportunity to bring your voice and perspective into print. To my fellow editors, thank you for the hours you poured into these articles. As all eighty of us know, law reviews are a labor of love. Each student helped shape Volume 97. With long hours of hard work, I hope each of you have found a sense of community along the way. The 3L Editors conducted rounds of deep substantive edits, read every sentence during technical edits, and reviewed thousands of words (and commas) during page proofs. The 2L Editors tirelessly verified thousands of footnote citations for accuracy and support. None of this would be possible without each of you contributing to our village. To the Board of Editors, thank you for your tireless commitment to the Volume. You all truly inspire me to show up every morning (or work late into the night). Your humanity is reflected in each of these pages. I am so grateful to work alongside you all: You are a manifestation of true villagers.
