Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2009)
The Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Roundtable, published in November 2009, featured participation from several scholars. Professor Peter L. Strauss’s introductory essay lays the foundation for the debate. Professors Harold H. Bruff, Gary Lawson, Richard H. Pildes, Steven G. Calabresi, and Christopher S. Yoo provided both their “first takes” on the case as well as responses to the essays of the other Roundtable participants. We hope you find this Roundtable informative and engaging.
