Is Financial Reform Too Big to Fail? – Washington, DC
American University Law Review invites submissions for its spring symposium, Is Financial Reform Too Big to Fail? Emerging from the Financial Crisis with the Help of Increased Consumer Protection and Corporate Responsibility. The event will take place March 3, 2011, in Washington D.C. and will largely focus on issues associated with the Dodd-Frank Act and other recent reform measures, such as the CARD Act.
We are inviting speakers for the symposium panels and authors for the companion volume that we will publish in June 2011.
We are planning four panels, each an hour and a half long, focusing on a general topic. The first morning panel will focus on issues affecting private equity and private companies; the second morning panel will focus on issues affecting publicly traded companies. The first afternoon panel will focus on issues affecting the mortgage industry; the second afternoon panel will focus on issues affecting other forms of consumer credit such as credit cards and student loans.Questions and comments can be directed to Isabelle Corbett, Senior Symposium Editor, and Christine Peterson, Associate Symposium Editor, at lawrev-symposium-editor [at] wcl.american.edu
