Abstract
John Ely's life ended too soon, on October 25, a few weeks before his sixty-fifth birthday. Six months earlier, Yale had awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws. The citation accompanying the award stated, "Your work set the standard for constitutional scholarship for our generation." It is, I believe, particularly appropriate that this Law Review dedicate an issue to John's memory. John taught at Harvard Law School from 1973 to 1982. During that time he produced his signature work, Democracy and Distrust, and the articles most closely associated with his name, several of which appeared in this Review.
