"This book focuses on a very timely and important subject that merit s comprehensive analysis: "rethinking" the securities laws, with particular emphasis on the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act. The system of securities regulation that prevails today in the United States is one that has been formed through piecemeal federal legislation, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in vocation of its administrative authority, and self-regulatory episodic action. As a consequence, the presence of consistent and logical regulation all too often is lacking. In both transactional and litigation settings, with frequency, mandates apply that are erratic and antithetical to sound public policy. Over four decades ago, the American Law Institute (ALI) adopted the ALI Federal Securities Code. The Code has not been enacted by Congress and its prospects are dim. Since that time, no treatise, monograph, or other source comprehensively has focused on this meritorious subject. The objective of this book is to identify the deficiencies that exist under the current regimen, address their failings, provide recommendations for rectifying these deficiencies, and set forth a thorough analysis for remediation in order to prescribe a consistent and sound securities law framework. By undertaking this challenge, the book provides an original and valuable resource for effectuating necessary law reform that should prove beneficial to the integrity of the U.S. capital markets, effective and fair government and private enforcement, and the enhancement of investor protection"--

"The universally acknowledged work Securities Regulation is of immense day-to-day value to the practitioner. The authors' analysis of all relevant statutes plus thousands of cases, SEC administrative decisions and letters definitively clarifies such questions as: When does a note fall within the definition of a "security" How have the courts altered the express civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws? Can the SEC impose additional ten-day suspensions on trading without notice? Does scienter include reckless as well as intentional conduct? And countless others, so that you're almost sure to find coverage of the "small point" on which your case may turn."--Publisher's website.
