Customer Reviews

This book saved me in Securities class

Securities Law was arguably one of the hardest classes I took in law school. This book clearly explained many theories. I am more of a fan of the Gilbert's or Emmanuel's encyclopedic type outlines, but one cannot take securities law without using this book. A must have.

Another Well Written Book

Securities Regulations: Examples And Explanations, seems to be a good choice for law students taking a course on securities law. The book's presentation is logical and well thought out. Another book worth considering is: Securities Regulations in a Nutshell,

Seething Chaos Reduced to a Haiku

This book is THE key to aceing securities. All the E & E's are outstanding, but this is really a gem. Somehow, Palmiter has reduced the seething chaos of securities law to a virtual haiku of brevity and clarity. I had no prior background in finance but it got me an A. I used this book, Ratner's Nutshell, the textbook, and an outline I inherited from a graduating 3L. The textbook was terrible. The Nutshell was ok, but this book made it superfluous. And, as i read the outline, I came to realize that it was actually abstracted and condensed from this book. This subject could be taught from this book alone. Do yourself a favor and spend the money, it will save you time.

Very, very helpful

I just reviewed the Aspen textbook on Securities Law by Cox, et al., where I noted that if you must use that textbook, you should also have a study aid. This is the study aid I chose, and it is a lifesaver. Securities law is a tough, statutory-heavy subject. This study aid is really helpful because it explains the poorly written SEC statutes with ease. It is somewhat dense because securities law is technical; however, it is also clear, which is why it is valuable. Like the other E & E books, it offers problems & answers. This is another valuable feature to this book -- working through problems is a great way to learn the material. I recommend this study aid highly.
