Main Street Multidisciplinary Practice Firms: Laboratories For The Future, Susan Poser
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article examines the debate over multidisciplinary practice in the wake of the collapse of Enron and Arthur Andersen.

"Corporate responsibility" is not a peripheral matter. It is at the core of all decision-making on behalf of business corporations under American law.

It looks at a number of well known cases and points to the often neglected relevance of both the criminal law applicable to corporations as such, and the evolving professional responsibility of corporate …
