For many years the Kamisar-LaFave-Israel-King teaching materials, the outstanding work of four nationally recognized authorities on the subject, have dominated the field. The addition of Professor Kerr to the the authorial mix has only heightened the prestige of the text.

Upon his retirement from active service as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia in 2011, Justice Koontz had completed more than four decades of service to citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to recognize that service and help preserve Justice Koontz legacy as one of the outstanding jurists in Virginia and the United States, the Salem/Roanoke County Bar Association instituted this project to collect all of Justice Koontz's published opinions, both from his tenure as a Justice of the Supreme Court and as an inaugural member of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.

Today, however, the Clause is a hollowed out shell of its former self, reflecting and enabling the nation's shift toward politically popular tough-on-crime policies.
