5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Must Have, May 18, 2008
This review is from: Securities Regulation: Examples & Explanations (Paperback)
this is quite possibly the hardest course in law school so take it at your own risk...and if you do, GET THIS BOOK! great charts that break down some of the tougher rules (e.g. gun-jumping) and good explanations of a lot of the cases and ideas...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for finals prep., May 3, 2008
This review is from: Securities Regulation: Examples & Explanations (Paperback)
The Examples and Explanations series is, in my opinion, a little less helpful than the Siegel's series as the problems in this book are all pretty short and not quite like the long issue-spotters one ordinarily gets on final exams in law school. The upside of these books, however, is that they have summaries of the concepts you should know as well as problems with explanations for every topic. This means that if you don't quite understand one of the concepts you've been taught (Regulation D, for example), you can use this book to supplement your lecture notes. I found the book very helpful in studying for my Securities Regulation exam.

It's worth noting that every law school class will cover different topics in different ways, so this book may not cover some of the topics in as much detail as your professor did. I've found that this is always the case with commercial supplements; you just have to understand that your class won't always be exactly like the book, and learn not to panic when you can't answer a question on a subject your prof barely touched on. At the same time, every Securities Regulation class should cover the basics (materiality, gun-jumping, exemptions from registration, liability under the Securities Acts, Rule 10b-5, insider trading, periodic reporting, financial reporting, and SEC oversight), all of which were covered in this book.

This review is from: Securities Regulation: Examples & Explanations (Paperback)
This is one of the best E&E supplements I've used--it's up there with Glannon's Civ Pro book. Very clear and straightforward. Despite its relative brevity I found it more useful than the huge Gilbert edition for this class (and much more useful than the casebook).
