Colleen Honigsberg, a distinguished professor at Stanford Law School, has been honored with the Order of the Coif’s Lolly Gasaway Faculty-Student Writing Award. This prestigious accolade, given for exceptional collaborative work between students and faculty, recognizes Honigsberg’s 2022 Stanford Law Review article, “Regulatory Arbitrage and the Persistence of Financial Misconduct,” co-written with NYU School of Law Professor Robert J. Jackson Jr. and postdoctoral fellow Edwin Hu. The article provides empirical evidence on how advisors with misconduct histories engage in regulatory arbitrage, thereby complicating regulators’ efforts to curb bad behavior.
In addition to this accolade, Honigsberg has been appointed to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s (PCAOB) Standards and Emerging Issues Advisory Group. This group provides crucial advice to the PCAOB on various matters, including existing and potential new standards and emerging issues, aiming to protect investors’ interests and ensure the integrity of audit reports.
