The inaugural meeting of the Section on Securities Regulation will include several papers discussing the topic: Does United States Securities Regulation Have a Future. Recent changes in our securities markets indicate that they are changing and more rapidly than ever. In an attempt to address those changes and to focus further attention on the need to address both state law and global issues in this context, the panel for the meeting includes discussions of demutualization, derivatives, international market regulations, and the interplay between state disclosure law and federal securities law. Each paper provides a different perspective on market regulation and the future of the U.S. regulatory process, as well as its impact on other financial markets and court systems.
