Some Legal Problems Connected With Stock Market Transactions, S. Ashley Guthrie, Henry F. Tenney Nov 1930

Some Legal Problems Connected With Stock Market Transactions, S. Ashley Guthrie, Henry F. Tenney

Michigan Law Review

If any one were asked what was the most dramatic event of the last year, he probably refer at once to the collapse of the great Bull Market on the New York Stock Exchange. This was not only a dramatic event, but it was literally a tragedy for hundreds of thousands of people. Securities shrank to less than half their former inflated values and hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and paper profits were lost over night, or possibly we should say over two nights, for the crash occurred in two stages, one in October and one in November, …


The Influence Of Securities Regulation Upon Standards Of Corporation Financing, Forrest B. Ashby Jun 1928

The Influence Of Securities Regulation Upon Standards Of Corporation Financing, Forrest B. Ashby

Michigan Law Review

During the first years of the present century both promotional and manipulative swindling in connection with stocks and bonds flourished in the face of the obsolescent and poorly enforced fraud laws which were administered by prosecutors and courts inexperienced in corporate finance. It was not until 1911, after the securities problem had been put squarely before it by the state banking commissioner, that the Kansas legislature passed the first blue sky law to check the issuance and sale of unsound corporate obligations. Since 1911 the development of securities legislation has proceeded until at the present time forty-six states have statutes …

The Law School -As a result of the increased requirements for admission, which are now in their second year of operation, the attendance at the Law School is less than that of last year, though the decrease is less than was anticipated at the time of the adoption of the higher requirements. The entering class (the second, under the new standard) is about thirty larger than that of last year. There are no changes in the teaching staff, and none of great importance in the curriculum.

Banks and Banking - Right to Set-off Deposit Against Debt Due Bank - L.
