 Excellent book... careful, there is a newer edition, 2008-05-22
I purchased this book on the same date they published the new edition. Tough luck. I purchased it in spite of knowing that there were some outdated topics. The book is very clear and very helpful. I ended up buying the new version (not on Amazon tough) and it is even better. The five stars are because the book itself is great, and the author has published another version. Just beware and get the green one!
As for the course I had read all the materials during class, but I only used this book to review for my Securities reg exam. I did great, and I now feel I have an excellent understanding on the subject. Although it is my first E & E book, and I thought at first that going through Qs & As was not the best way to understand a subject, I now have a different view. Completely recommend the newer 4th edition of this book. Very helpful summaries as well.

Another Well Written Book, 2007-05-18
Securities Regulations: Examples And Explanations, seems to be a good choice for law students taking a course on securities law. The book's presentation is logical and well thought out.
Another book worth considering is: Securities Regulations in a Nutshell,

 Good but out of date, 2007-01-05
Well-written, clear, a helpful overview. However, it does not take into account the 2005 public offering reforms, so its treatment of permissible communications during the offering process (about 30% of the material in my Sec Reg I course) is totally unhelpful and misleading. As of this writing, I'm not aware of any more up-to-date study guide/outline on this subject.

Seething Chaos Reduced to a Haiku , 2006-08-25
This book is THE key to aceing securities. All the E&E's are outstanding, but this is really a gem. Somehow, Palmiter has reduced the seething chaos of securities law to a virtual haiku of brevity and clarity. I had no prior background in finance but it got me an A. I used this book, Ratner's Nutshell, the textbook, and an outline I inherited from a graduating 3L. The textbook was terrible. The Nutshell was ok, but this book made it superfluous. And, as i read the outline, I came to realize that it was actually abstracted and condensed from this book. This subject could be taught from this book alone. Do yourself a favor and spend the money, it will save you time.

Very, very helpful, 2005-03-30
I just reviewed the Aspen textbook on Securities Law by Cox, et al., where I noted that if you must use that textbook, you should also have a study aid. This is the study aid I chose, and it is a lifesaver. Securities law is a tough, statutory-heavy subject. This study aid is really helpful because it explains the poorly written SEC statutes with ease. It is somewhat dense because securities law is technical; however, it is also clear, which is why it is valuable. Like the other E & E books, it offers problems & answers. This is another valuable feature to this book -- working through problems is a great way to learn the material. I recommend this study aid highly.
