W74 LAW 568CSecurities Law Litigation and Arbitration (Kempf)2.0 Units
Description:Pre/Co-requisite: Securities Regulation or Corporations. This two unit course will be both academic and practical. It is designed for the student who wishes to gain a working knowledge about securities litigation and arbitration.It will require students to analyze the elements of and policies underlying the most common securities fraud claims, including Rule 10b-5 and its case law, related statutes and typical arbitration claims, and to apply that analysis to pleading cases in both court and arbitration. We will compare the often highly technical pleading requirements in court under the Federal Rules, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, and the cases thereunder, with the more relaxed pleading and hearing practices under the rules of the securities dispute resolution organizations, primarily the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. There will be three drafting exercises.We will study the shift of most securities industry disputes to arbitration, what claims are typically found in arbitration and the procedures for their resolution. We will also analyze the role of the courts in shaping the structure of the arbitration process. Regular attendance and participation will be required and will constitute 20% of the grade. The remainder of the grade will be based on the assignments. 2 units.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
