Thompson will discuss their book, A History of Securities Law in the Supreme Court, recently-published by the Oxford University Press. The book goes behind the curtain to see how securities law gets made at the Supreme Court, relying on the justices' internal correspondence, memoranda and interviews with law clerks to see how the ideologies and personalities of the individual justices have shaped the path of securities law. Pritchard and Thompson will also discuss the implications of that history for the future of securities law in the Supreme Court and the modern administrative state. Speaker Bios Adam C. Pritchard is the Frances and George Skestos Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, where he teaches corporate and securities law. His research focuses on securities class actions, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement and the history of securities law in the US Supreme Court. He is the author, with Stephen J.
