The course is an introduction to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and consists of three main parts. Part One is an introduction to securities regulation, financial innovation, and mandatory disclosure. Part Two discusses mandatory disclosure in greater depth, beginning with public offerings—including the traditional registration process, gun jumping, alternative registration procedures, and liability rules. Next, the boundaries of the 1933 Act are explored, with a focus on exempt securities, exempt transactions, and secondary distributions. Financial reporting is also discussed. Finally, Part Three explores securities litigation.
