ABSTRACT:
This casebook is one of the most widely adopted securities books in the market: more than 60 American law schools have now been using it. After a short introduction, this work begins with a deep inquiry into materiality and its relationship to the disclosure obligation. The authors emphasize the problem method so that careful coverage of the doctrinal fundamentals of securities regulation can be complemented with text and questions that expose the student to a good deal of theory and academic insight. In keeping the materials current with the developments of securities regulations along with the institutionalization, internationalization, and new product expansion such as derivatives market, this excellent casebook covers virtually every important subject in the securities laws such as:
· the legal and institutional framework of securities regulation;
· the inquiries into the materiality of information;
· the definition of a security;
· public offering;
