On October 8, 2010, the American Bankruptcy
Institute Law Review and the
Center for Bankruptcy Studies at St. John's School of Law
presented their Fall 2010 symposium:
The SEC in Bankruptcy: Past, Present and
Future
Since its founding, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
has played an important role as both a regulator and participant in
bankruptcy cases, valuing debtor assets, opining on plans of
reorganization, regulating the trading of claims and the disclosure
of information, and much else. In recent years, the SEC's role in
bankruptcy has intensified with the increased use of receiverships
in Ponzi scheme and other cases. This symposium brought
together prominent scholars and practitioners to discuss the SEC's
past and present involvement with bankruptcy and to suggest
approaches for the future.
