The School of Law will host Adam C. Pritchard and Robert B. Thompson for a discussion on their book, A History of Securities Law in the Supreme Court, recently published by the Oxford University Press.
The book goes behind the curtain to see how securities law gets made at the Supreme Court, relying on the justices’ internal correspondence, memoranda and interviews with law clerks to see how the ideologies and personalities of the individual justices have shaped the path of securities law. Pritchard and Thompson will also discuss the implications of that history for the future of securities law in the Supreme Court and the modern administrative state.
Their talk, titled “Securities Law in the Supreme Court,” will be held Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the School of Law’s Moot Courtroom (Room A59).
