Columbia Law School has launched the CLS Blue Sky Blog, a blog on corporations and the capital markets that will offer “analysis of noteworthy developments in the worlds of financial reform, securities regulation, [and] corporate governance.”
A special column called the “Filter” will also collect each business day’s five most interesting news items or blog posts.
The brainchild of law professor John C. Coffee Jr., the director of the law school’s Center on Corporate Governance, the blog will be a forum for debate over the effectiveness of SEC enforcement in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
Coffee’s January 16 post, “SEC Enforcement Rhetoric and Reality,” has already been cited for praise by Compliance Week columnist Bruce Carton, a former senior counsel in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
The CLS Blue Sky Blog is edited and managed by Jason W. Parson, a former corporate and securities law practitioner who is currently a lecturer-in-law and a post-doctoral research scholar at Columbia.
The blog will feature commentary on the Dodd-Frank Act, securities regulation, mergers and acquisitions, finance and economics, corporate governance, and related international developments, as well as a searchable library of memos from leading law firms.
