The Conglomerate is holding a masters forum, starting today, on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, expected to be signed into law by President
Obama this week. The
Forum will feature commentary from several guest posters, including yours
truly. Erik Gerding has already gotten the ball rolling, with a
new New Deal?, reforming Congress, and how many regulators does it take to
screw in a reform?
I’ll cross-post my entry here, but of course you should head
over to the Glom periodically
over the next few days to read all the activity. In the meantime, you can get up to speed with this
comprehensive Davis
Polk Client Memorandum summarizing the Dodd-Frank Act (in only 130 pages!),
these
posts at the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial
Regulation, this
round-up of initial takes by Frank Pasquale, this short
summary and reaction from Steven Davidoff at the Deal Professor, and the
exchange between Becker
and Posner.
