ALEXIS MCNAUGHTON KNOX<br />

1983 - 2006<br />

Acknowledgements<br />

The editors are grateful to the many people who, in different ways, contributed<br />

to this volume. Among them are:<br />

Hon. Judith S. Kaye, Chief Judge of the State of New York, whose creative<br />

vision and passionate commitment to women and families serve as foundations<br />

for projects such as this.<br />

Hon. John T. Buckley, Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department,<br />

who has graciously lent us the prestige and resources of the Appellate Division.<br />

Hon. Betty Weinberg Ellerin, former Associate Justice and former Presiding<br />

Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, now special counsel to Alston<br />

& Bird. Judge Ellerin is second to none in her devotion to the community this<br />

volume is designed to serve. She supported us, as always, in her own indomitable<br />

and inimitable way, with affection and wisdom.<br />

Ted Ermansons, graphic artist extraordinaire, who is responsible for the elegant<br />

design of this volume. He understood what we wanted before we did and<br />

created harmony of subject and object. Ted shot the remarkable photographs<br />

that grace this book.<br />

Elizabeth Peters, who worked under considerable pressure and with tremendous<br />

skill to get accurate and attractive camera-ready copy to the printer, all the time<br />

maintaining an aura of calm, assured composure.<br />

Alix Lerner, who cheerfully and expertly proofread this entire volume.<br />

The advocates for domestic violence victims whose faces adorn the cover of this<br />

book, and, in particular, Alexis McNaughton Knox, whose photo also appears<br />

on this page. Alexis, who recently died in a car accident, was a brilliant young<br />

woman with a passionate commitment to women’s rights. Her death was a tragic<br />

loss not just to friends and family but to the community she hoped to serve.<br />

The contributors, one and all, who took the time to write about the work and<br />

people to whom they devote so much of their lives.<br />
