t Submissions Editor, Cardozo Law Review, J.D. Candidate (May 2022), Benjamin N.
Cardozo School of Law; B.A., summa cum laude, Rutgers University, 2019. I would like to thank
Professor Kate Levine for lending her invaluable insights and expertise at each step of the writing
process. I especially appreciate the diligent work of my colleagues on Cardozo Law Review, whose
astute suggestions have helped elevate this Note at every turn. Finally, I would like to extend my
eternal gratitude to my friends and my family for their unshakeable belief in my ability to succeed,
and especially to Jun Park, my forever cheerleader, whose unflagging support (and familiarity
with Excel) was absolutely indispensable.
