323 Non-Managing Underwriters’ Role In Securities Offerings: Just Eye Candy?, Elena Marty-Nelson
323 Non-Managing Underwriters’ Role In Securities Offerings: Just Eye Candy?, Elena Marty-Nelson
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
While there is considerable scholarship on the due diligence defense of lead underwriters in defective corporate securities offerings, there is surprisingly little analysis of the due diligence defense of non-managing underwriters. This article challenges the common perception that lead and non-managing underwriters necessarily “sink or swim” together for purposes of due diligence. An analysis of the statutory structure of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 reveals that non-managing underwriters are not inextricably tethered to the lead. Rather, non-managing underwriters who actively question the lead’s due diligence investigation should be able to meet their own affirmative defense even when …

Morrison V. National Australia Bank: Life After Dodd-Frank, Meny Elgadeh
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
This Note examines the background of foreign-cubed litigation,1 including its development over the past four decades, its abrogation by the Supreme Court, and its potential future under recently enacted legislation. The Note examines the tests developed by the Court of Appeals in order to determine whether a United States court could adjudicate foreign-cubed litigation.

Finally, the Note discusses “The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,” a provision of which was specifically included to …
Another Role For Securities Regulation: Expanding Investor Opportunity, Jasmin Sethi
Another Role For Securities Regulation: Expanding Investor Opportunity, Jasmin Sethi
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
Securities regulation can be justified on a number of grounds, but furthering the expansion of opportunities for wealth accumulation across sectors of the population has generally not been utilized as an argument for regulation. This article demonstrates how an opportunities-based perspective, informed by the findings from interdisciplinary research, could alter securities policy in four areas: (1) enhancing access to information and financial institutions; (2) requiring disclosures; (3) impacting the behavioral biases of investors; and (4) aligning the incentives of investment professionals to better facilitate the wealth accumulation of their clients. The implications of applying an opportunities-based approach to financial regulation …
Revisiting The Inadvertent Investment Company, Brian Vito
Revisiting The Inadvertent Investment Company, Brian Vito
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
While the topic of financial regulation has recently experienced a resurgence in interest, one area that historically has received little attention and continues to exist in relative obscurity is the application of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Company Act”) to commodity pools, as opposed to mutual funds, hedge funds and private equity funds. The purpose of this article is to distinguish the boundary between an investment company, as that term is defined in the Company Act, and a commodity pool, as the term is used to refer to an investment pool not within the auspices of the Company …
Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The “Too-Big-To-Fail” Phenomenon, Jesse W. W. Markham, Jr.
Lessons For Competition Law From The Economic Crisis: The Prospect For Antitrust Responses To The “Too-Big-To-Fail” Phenomenon, Jesse W. W. Markham, Jr.
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
This article examines whether, and the extent to which, antitrust law could contribute to a broader regulatory effort to control the too-big-to-fail problem. The article begins by exploring the nature of the problem. Against this backdrop, it considers antitrust policy and rules to evaluate whether antitrust might play a meaningful role. The article concludes that antitrust law, if vigorously enforced with an emphasis on avoiding too-big-to-fail problems, can be a useful public policy tool to address the problem. However, it can come nowhere near solving it or preventing recurrences of recent systemic failures.
