Diversity From The Perspective Of Corporate Boards And Lawyer Disciplinary Boards, Lissa L. Broome, John M. Conley
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
This Article addresses the organizing question of this symposium—whether diversifying state medical boards (SMBs) would improve their effectiveness in disciplining doctors—by drawing on the comparable experiences of corporate boards of directors and lawyer disciplinary boards.
