Securities Regulation
Product Description
This casebook provides the tools for the study of the law of securities regulation. This edition has been extensively revised and reorganized. Topics covered include the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the competitiveness of the U.S. capital markets, and the affect of globalization on the world’s security markets. It includes a new chapter on shareholder voting and updated coverage of SEC enforcement actions and criminal liability, as well as state securities law, international issues, and the regulation of investment companies.
Loss and Seligman have long been the top authors in the area of securities regulations. Loss’ multiseries treatise is a staple in every securities attorney’s library. This single volume version is an excellent resource for the layman, as well as for the attorney who does not practice securities law every day.

This book may be a helpful desk reference for a practitioner, but it is not a practical introduction to Securities Regulation for a student. Most people in the course (even gunner, Law Review types) have given up reading the text, as it is very, very dense and yet still manages not provide the necessary context for the subject matter. We dislike it and it doesn’t appear that the professor likes it any better than we do. I will say that the text is well edited and formatted – which often is not the case with legal texts.
