Securities Regulation: Examples & Explanations

Highly recommended for the 2 and 3Ls struggling through SecReg also useful (but not to the same extent) for SecLit and SecMarketReg and for the Corporation/BusAssoc Course that dives heavily into 10b-5. Only quibbles (that prevent it from getting 5 stars).Rule 144/144A coverage is weak. Should expand the proxy (Exchange Act Section 14) coverage as schools/professors have slightly different lesson plans and some SecReg course may cover it in more detail. Also foreign private issuer Rule 3b-4/12g information was absent.

I bought this book while taking a Securities Regulation course in law school. I would encourage anyone studying the subject to purchase it. The SEC Regs are complicated and hard to understand. This book takes you through the whole subject in a very concise and thorough way. The examples and explanations are extremely helpful in preparation for a law school exam and helped me get a high grade. The only downer about the book is it is two years old and therefore lacks discussion of Reg FD and other important Regs from the past two years.
