Securities Law

U. S. Securities & Exchange Commission
http://www.sec.gov/

The SEC provides an extensive web site on securities law. EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, & Retrieval) performs automated collection, validation, indexing, acceptance, and forwarding of submissions by public domestic companies. EDGAR filings are posted within 24-48 hours of filing. Also available on the web site is the SEC News Digest, which provides daily information on recent Commission actions, including enforcement proceedings, rule filings, and policy statements. Covered at this site are press releases, congressional testimony given by members of the SEC, recent speeches by the SEC Chair and the Commissioner of the SEC, which generally cover a wide range of topics concerning the state of the markets and the Commissioner’s regulatory agenda. Another resource on this page is the significant legal briefs filed by the Commissioner in cases raising important securities law issues.

Links to primary law and news sites, securities arbitration, and mediation links are very helpful for researchers in the law of securities.
