Instructions for the Current Event Research Paper
One of the best things about studying securities regulation is that the topic is often in the news. Every day, a company chooses to go public, an executive at a public company is charged with violating anti-fraud provisions, or a company is investigated for bribing foreign government officials. This assignment asks that you choose one current event relevant to any of the topics we cover in the course and write a research paper describing what happened, the relevant law, and the significance of the story for the industry, the company, the law, and/or you.
How to choose your current event:
The current event must have been in the news within the last year. To find a topic of interest, read the news (The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Financial Times), visit the SEC’s website for press releases, or read some of the many blogs on securities regulation, white-collar crime, or corruption. You can also follow the SEC on Twitter. Once you find a news story, research it more deeply, including the relevant law. Your story does not have to be a case that has gone to court already. It can be an investigation, a proposed new rule or regulation, or any other story that touches the legal issues we study.
What to include in your paper:
Logistics:
(1) not quality oriented as it has both good materials and not so good materials, and the internet does not know the difference; (2) the internet is NOT a sole source location. Sources such as Wikipedia are the works of individual submitters that are not reviewed. Thus, while many entries provide excellent information, some are fundamentally flawed or just plain wrong.
