Zhang Professor of the Practice of Law, Duke Law; Faculty Director, Global Financial Markets Center. This discussion will be moderated by Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science, Penn Law; Director, Penn Program on Regulation. 

This event is hosted by the Wharton Risk Center and the Penn Program on Regulation as part of Energy Week at Penn.
