Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, The, Winter 2003 by Chambliss, Elizabeth, Wilkins, David B

CONCLUSION

discipline based on the emerging role of in-house compliance specialists. Our primary goal is to stimulate interest in the essentials of our proposal and to reinvigorate the discussion about law firm discipline. We believe that the profession's privilege of self-regulation requires lawyers, regulators, and scholars to continue to work to implement an effective strategy for entity regulation. We ought not let the current impasse stifle this important regulatory effort.
