Reviews

Frank H. Stephen, Emeritus Professor of Regulation, School of Law, University of Manchester:

"This book draws attention to the relevance of regulation in a number of professions that are not discussed much in the general literature but whose conduct can have a significant impact both on their clients and on society more widely. Bringing these cases together in a single volume illustrates that the application of a consistent analytical framework does not result in the same structure of regulation being recommended in each case. The value of this book is more than the sum of the individual cases."

Carolyn Hughes Tuohy, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Distinguished Fellow, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto:

"In Paradoxes of Professional Regulation, Michael J. Trebilcock incisively dissects the challenges of under- or over-regulating professional services, and provides a clear-eyed approach to determining the appropriate scope, method, and aegis of regulation in particular cases. Studded with insights along the way, the book offers distilled wisdom from a leading scholar in the field."
