On October 9, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Stoneridge Investment Partners v. Scientific-Atlanta, arguably the most important securities law case to reach the Court in a decade. In Stoneridge, the Court will consider whether primary liability under Section 10(b) extends to third-parties, such as auditors, attorneys, or vendors, who engage in allegedly fraudulent transactions with a public corporation.
On October 5th, there will be a major one-day conference on the Stoneridge case at Case School of Law’s Center for Business Law and Regulation. Yours truly will be one of the speakers. Information is available here. Registration deadline is Friday, September 28, 2007, although there may be some space available tickets thereafter. 3.5 hours of CLE credit will be available for a $100 fee to lawyers who attend.
If you’re a regular blog reader who can make it, be sure to introduce yourself.
