Securities Regulation: In a Nutshell (Nutshells) 10th Edition

Most law schools don't offer much in the way of securities law training, and unless you were a business major in college, this area might be foreign to you. I encourage anyone with an interest in business law to pick this up as a useful read for preparing to practice, or to bone up on the law for a case that touches on securities issues. I bought the Kindle version, which is great, because I can literally carry it around with me.

I was reluctant to purchase this book since there was no comment online. Finally I just purchased it as I detected no alternative, and felt fortunate that I have made a wise determination. This book provides a beginner with an excellent framework for US securities regulations and structure of SEC departments and their functions. I am a junior in a law firm, and, based on this book, I have just found that research in this field has become much much easier. I love the nutshell series.

boring book.

I'm not a securities lawyer, but I need to know about the securities laws, and this book fits the bill. I had an older version that I used when I started my job in the securities industry, and it puts everything together in a very succinct way.

A lot of valuable info in a small package. Overall, I am very happy with it. Now, if I can just get time to read it.

Great overview of securities regulation.

As a third-year law school student, I've used my fair share of Nutshell books, and historically they've been great -- this one, however, is a complete letdown. While it does provide a very very very broad overview of securities law, it lacks any sort of substantive discussion of the details within the statutes and caselaw - making it incredibly unhelpful for outlining. Additionally (and infuriatingly), I have found several incorrect citations to the relevant statutes and rules. So, if you are looking for a helpful and accurate discussion of Securities Regulation for law school purposes, do not buy this book - your money will be better served with a Gilbert's or an E&E.
