Akron Law Review
In Daniel v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that the federal securities laws apply to disclosure of information regarding employee pension and profit sharing plans. In an era when disclosure of information has become mandatory and commonplace, it is not surprising that relevant information on pension plans should be disclosed to employees. The important aspect of this case is that disclosure was required under the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, rather than under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Questions concerning the Securities and Exchange Commission's jurisdiction over …

Private Cause Of Action Under Section 17(A) Of Securities Exchange Act Of 1934; Doctrine Of Implication; Touche Ross V. Redington, James L. Miller
Akron Law Review
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is principally designed to protect investors through regulation of securities transactions on the organized exchanges and in the over-the-counter markets. In addition to the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission as its leading enforcement mechanism, the 1934 Act provides for criminal penalties and, in certain instances, private causes of action for individuals who incur damage by others' violations of the Act. However, courts will often imply a civil cause of action for an injured party despite the absence of express statutory authorization.3 Subsequent judicial attempts to determine when supplemental civil relief can or …

Federalism To An Advantage: The Demise Of State Blue Sky Laws Under The Uniform Securities Act, Marianne M. Jennings, Bruce K. Childers, Ronald J. Kudla
Akron Law Review
They come at an opportune time. "They" are the changes to the Uniform Securities Act. Although some of the changes are perfunctory, the significant changes have a fascinating common thread running through them. That fascinating thread is federalism. Changes in the Act could move regulation away from the hands of the states and make federal registration, more or less, a ticket for sales without state approval. The changes are not without opposition. This article will discuss the changes, the reactions of particular concerned groups and the perceived effects of such changes.
Attorneys Beware: Increased Liability For Providing Advice To Corporate Clients Issuing Securites, Joseph Reece
Attorneys Beware: Increased Liability For Providing Advice To Corporate Clients Issuing Securites, Joseph Reece
Akron Law Review
Although the law in this area is rapidly evolving, a general overview of recent case law seems to indicate that attorneys may be liable even though their participation in the issuance of securities only involved rendering routine services to a corporate client. If an attorney were to have an active part in activities such as business planning or the promotion of securities, their exposure to potential liability would increase dramatically. As a result of this rapid change in the law, there is a degree of uncertainty concerning the potential liabilities attorneys may face when assisting their corporate clients in issuing …

Although much of the discussion is couched in terms of Ohio law and Ohio issuers, it applies equally to other jurisdictions whose corporation laws are similar to Ohio's.

Part II presents the complete narrative of the Lovenheim case, providing details that are not captured in the decision or in the limited secondary …

This Article is a Law Story. Law Stories have many purposes, but their main goal is to supplement and demystify the case method of legal pedagogy. The case method has been criticized for presenting students with the law more or less as a fait accompli. The case method assumes a pre-existing body of law that students passively learn rather than learning to think of the law as something that they will have a hand in shaping...In Part II, this Article explores the law of shareholder proposals and the reasons why the SEC and the courts permit proposals relating to social …
