: OverRegd - Securities Regulation and Litigation BlogState Securities Administrators to Host Public Forum on Arbitration
The North American Securities Administrators Association will be holding a public forum on securities industry arbitration, on June 24 in New York City.
NASAA, which is the organization of heads of securities departments from each of the American states and territories, as well as the Canadian provinces and Mexico, has long perceived industry securities arbitration as unfair to investors. The organization has advocated for substantial changes in the arbitration system, including abolition of mandatory arbitration.
NASAA's position on securities arbitration is abundantly clear in the title of the upcoming forum: Arbitration is Broken: How Can it be Fixed? According to NASAA, the forum "will feature a panel of legal and regulatory experts, academics, and consumer advocates who will address the manner in which arbitrations are conducted; whether the selection, qualification, and composition of arbitration panels is fair; and whether the arbitration process should be an option, not a requirement, for investors. Panelists also will discuss the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2007 and current research exploring consumer views on securities arbitration."
Registration for the forum is free, on a first-come-first served basis. Registration details are on NASAA's website.
