2.0 out of 5 stars Good but out of date, January 5, 2007

This review is from: Securities Regulation: Examples And Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

Well-written, clear, a helpful overview. However, it does not take into account the 2005 public offering reforms, so its treatment of permissible communications during the offering process (about 30% of the material in my Sec Reg I course) is totally unhelpful and misleading. As of this writing, I'm not aware of any more up-to-date study guide/outline on this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seething Chaos Reduced to a Haiku, August 24, 2006

By

This review is from: Securities Regulation: Examples And Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

This book is THE key to aceing securities. All the E&E's are outstanding, but this is really a gem. Somehow, Palmiter has reduced the seething chaos of securities law to a virtual haiku of brevity and clarity. I had no prior background in finance but it got me an A. I used this book, Ratner's Nutshell, the textbook, and an outline I inherited from a graduating 3L. The textbook was terrible. The Nutshell was ok, but this book made it superfluous. And, as i read the outline, I came to realize that it was actually abstracted and condensed from this book. This subject could be taught from this book alone. Do yourself a favor and spend the money, it will save you time.

I just reviewed the Aspen textbook on Securities Law by Cox, et al., where I noted that if you must use that textbook, you should also have a study aid. This is the study aid I chose, and it is a lifesaver. Securities law is a tough, statutory-heavy subject. This study aid is really helpful because it explains the poorly written SEC statutes with ease. It is somewhat dense because securities law is technical; however, it is also clear, which is why it is valuable. Like the other E & E books, it offers problems & answers. This is another valuable feature to this book -- working through problems is a great way to learn the material. I recommend this study aid highly.
