Since attending last week's program on financial contracts (jointly sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute and the World Bank), I've decided my next published work will be titled something like "Financial Contracts for Dummies." After all, how many among us really understand derivatives, swaps, forward contracts, synthetic collateralized debt obligations, repos, and "master netting agreements?" I sure don't. Hence the "dummies" in the title starts with me.
For the time being I'll stick with grading final exams so feel free to share any insights or links dealing with the substance of financial contracts with me so I can hit the ground running later in May.
As a teacher of bankruptcy law, I'm particularity interested in how financial contract play out in the insolvency world (remember Lehman Brothers?). The Bankruptcy Code didn't seems to work so Congress enacted the behemoth of Dodd-Frank. For the time being, anyone who's interested in learning more might want to compare and contrast two opposing views of Title II of Dodd-Frank. You can see Doug Baird and Ed Morrison's faint praise by going here and Viral Acharya's thoughtful critique here.
