Students are introduced to legal and business issues arising in representing a public company with reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by working on practical exercises that simulate reporting and compliance issues faced by securities lawyers. Exercises include reviewing and revising an issuer’s earnings release, drafting and rules checking a Form 8-K for a public company acquisition and preparing risk factors for a Form 10-K. Students will have the opportunity to draft securities filings, interact with simulated clients and receive real-time feedback from practicing lawyers.
