Dodd-Frank: Title IX - Investor Protections and Improvements to the Regulation of Securities

Read a random definition: property settlement agreement

A quick definition of Dodd-Frank: Title IX - Investor Protections and Improvements to the Regulation of Securities:

Dodd-Frank is a law that helps protect investors and improve the way securities are regulated. It creates groups like the Investor Advisory Committee and the Office of the Investor Advocate to give advice to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and help investors. The law also requires the SEC to study the financial literacy of investors and the rules for brokers and investment advisors. It makes companies disclose more information about executive compensation and gives shareholders the power to vote on it. The law also improves the way credit rating agencies work and requires securitizers to keep some risk. Finally, it limits the SEC's required disclosures and rewards whistleblowers who report violations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dodd-Frank: Title IX is a law that amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to increase investor protection, improve the regulation of credit rating agencies, asset-backed securitization process, and corporate governance. It also increases regulatory enforcement and remedies for violations.

Example 1: Title IX creates an Investor Advisory Committee (IAC) within the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) composed of ten to twenty members that the SEC appoints to serve four-year terms. The IAC advises the SEC on current issues from an investor’s perspective and provides the SEC with regulatory recommendations to promote investor confidence in the integrity of securities markets.

Example 2: Title IX requires credit rating agencies to file additional disclosures analyzing the accuracy of their prior credit ratings. Credit rating agencies must also consider credible information provided from sources other than the securities issuer. This is to ensure that credit rating agencies’ performances are matters of public interest because of the immense reliance placed on credit

Dodd-Frank: Title IV - Regulation of Advisers to Hedge Funds and Others | Dodd-Frank: Title V - Insurance

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot
babycat

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
info-man
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
babycat
15:45
@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve
