Securities Regulation

The philosophy of this leading casebook is that securities law is tricky, and most students need a straightforward guide through at least some of its aspects. Coverage of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is kept separate, and care is taken to distinguish the different perspectives of the planner and the litigator. The authors try to approach the law from the perspective of the student. While professors of securities law may think of recent developments, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as add-ons, the text simply presents the law as it is today. Where it is important for students to realize that there has been a change or where there is a new and unresolved issue, however, the Sixth Edition makes that clear.
