Securities Litigation: Seminar
Professor Allen Ferrell and Mr. Warren Stern
2 classroom credits LAW-98750A Spring

The class will explore a variety of issues that arise in securities litigation through examining and discussing actual cases. These issues will include accounting fraud, proxy fraud, underwriter liability, the interplay of SEC, criminal, class, and opt-out actions, the extraterritorial application of U.S. securities law, and insider trading. The class will also cover the recurring themes of securities litigation - state of mind, pleading, gatekeeper liability, duty, materiality, class certification, causation, damages, insurance, indemnification, and settlement -- as they arise in the various contexts presented by the case studies and would talk about strategic options in the particular settings and the question of the social utility of securities litigation in concrete instances.
