Securities Lawyers of Styleforum

I know we have a lot of lawyers on here so I figured I'd tap into the resource; I'm Canadian and need some pointers on where to look for some information on a comparative study.

Specifically, I need to track down statistics on enforcement decisions rendered by the SEC in 2008 and 2009, in terms of types of violations prosecuted, convictions, matters settled, sanctions including non-monetary, against whom (directors, officers, etc).

Canada's regulatory agency publishes an annual report on enforcement so the data for up here is easily accessed. The SEC publishes an annual report, but it lacks detail and if there's something better out there I'd love to find it. Any ideas where to look?

You're probably better off looking at journal articles or publications by the ABA's Securities Litigation Committee.

^Don't have ABA membership (well, for obvious reasons I suppose). Otherwise that would be pretty useful. I'll have a look for on-point US law journals.

Check your PMs.

Might be worth a look...http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/corpgov...his-year/...if you have LEXIS access you might find some stuff, however an article regarding recent developments might not be out yet.
