LAW 2930 - Public Finance Seminar
This seminar focuses on the issuance of securities by domestic governments, including federal agencies, states, public authorities, interstate compacts, cities and special purpose agencies. At the level of states and political subdivisions, the course covers the financing of airports, public power, public housing, environmental facilities, hospitals, universities, museums and mass transportation. The unique problems of raising capital for a major league baseball stadium and for a troubled hospital system are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the SEC’s program to “clean up” municipal securities, and the course details the securities law of public finance in the context of structuring deals. Corporate finance is a constant comparison in considering the securities law regulatory system and the constitutional limitations applicable to public finance. Students have the option to write a paper or take an exam.
