Description
INTRODUCTION When reading about the Iraq war and its aftermath, I wondered, "Who is Paul Bremer?" Nobody elected him. Few people had heard of him before he became the administrator of the Coalition Provisional Government of Iraq.

Few people had heard of me. Nobody had elected me, either. Although the DS Trust did not have as high a profile as the Iraq war and its aftermath, the person on the street may well have wondered why a relatively unknown law professor was given the job of developing standards for distributing over $2 billion to hundreds of thousands of claimants. Similarly, although better known, Kenneth Feinberg, a private lawyer who served as a trustee of the DS Trust, more recently was appointed by the Attorney General of the United States to a high-profile post to administer the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund (VCF) created to compensate the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
