Very good reference when current, but this particular edition is out of date–several important statutes cited need to be updated….
Rating: 3 / 5
This updated text contains many of the standard processes that are applied by financial experts. Moreover, it also contains updates on more recent case law and their applications to various topics. This book contains a wide variety of topics – which could be a good thing or a bad thing. On the bright side, you get a feel for a bunch of things. However, it doesn’t cover some topics adequately because, maybe, of the fear of coming up with a 3000 page book.
There are certain things that I found helpful. I found the appendix to the regression chapter extremely useful, where the authors list out the types of regression issues and how courts have ruled on them. The section on securities litigation is also well-written, but I feel it could be expanded on more.
