Gallagher, Jr.vFormer Commissioner, United States Securities and ExchangeCommissionWELCOME AND INTRODUCTORY REMARKSMATTHEW DILLER: Good afternoon. My name is Matthew Diller. I have the honor of being the Dean of Fordham University School of Law. It is a pleasure to see you all here this afternoon.Thank you for joining us for the Symposium of the Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law, which was founded twenty years ago. This is an anniversary event for us. Let me just say that we are so proud of the success the Journal has had and the impact that it has had over the twenty years of its existence. In fact, it is remarkable that the Journal is only twenty years old and is already the most cited student-edited journal in banking and finance law.1 It shows how quickly the Journal has had an impact. That is really what we aim to do here. We aim to put forward considered, thoughtful, yet often provocative ideas that meet a need in the marketplace and help us think more clearly and more deeply about problems that we are facing in moving forward through corporate leadership in our society.Before I talk about today's program, let me thank a few people. I want to thank, in particular, Caitlin Fahey, the Journal's Symposium Editor, who put together today's program. Thank you, Caitlin. I want to thank two of our wonderful faculty members, Professor Caroline Gentile and Professor Sean Griffith, for their leadership and their contributions in guiding the Journal. I also want to thank Sean for his leadership of the Corporate Law Center here at Fordham, which is one of our jewels as well. The fact of the matter is that we really rock in the field of business law. When you look at our course catalogue, we have an amazing range of courses that our students really flock to. We also have both the Corporate Law Center and the Journal as focal points for activity, and as a way of getting our message out to the world. When you add that all up, it is really remarkable. It is all supported by a superb and extremely deep faculty.I want to also thank our panelists for joining us, Richard Kim, Fordham Law alumnus Eric Grossman, and our keynote speaker, Dan Gallagher. It is a pleasure to have you back at Fordham. There is one more thank-you that I need to do by way of introduction, which is to Professor Richard Squire, whom I have left for last, and whose work is really the inspiration for today's program. There has been a lot of talk and discussion and back-and-forth on Dodd-Frank. There is a certain book coming out in 2016 through the Columbia University Press that you must read, Getting Ready for the Next Bailouts by Professor Richard Squire,2 which is the inspiration for today's program. Let me tell you a little bit more about Richard. He has been a member of the Fordham faculty since 2006. He teaches corporations and corporate reorganization in bankruptcy. He has twice been elected Fordham Law School's Teacher of the Year in 2010 and 2011. His scholarly articles have appeared in the Harvard Law Review,3 the Yale Law Journal,4 and the Stanford Law Review,5 among other journals. That is really quite an arsenal of accomplishments. So, we are all very glad to be here today.I will now turn it over to you, Richard.PANELRICHARD SQUIRE: Thank you very much for that introduction, Dean Diller.Our program today consists of two main events. First, we are going to have this panel discussion. Each of the panelists is going to speak for about fifteen to twenty minutes on the subject of the conference. The title of the conference is Are We Ready for the Next Financial Crisis? We will have time to take about thirty-five minutes of questions from you all. … |
