On March 31, Haub Law’s Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic participated in the third U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Investor Advocacy Clinic Summit. Clinic attendees included 3L student interns Daiquan Frasier, Shabnam Froogh, Diego Gomez, Jessica Jhingoor, Jonathan Lee, and Omar Youssef, and Professor Elissa Germaine. Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic student interns Daiquan Frasier, Diego Gomez, and Jonathan Lee were presenters on the Summit panel, Lessons Learned from Harmed Investors – Gamification and Investor Behavior. These Haub Law students collaborated with students from clinics at New York Law School and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law on their well-received presentation. They also answered questions from SEC panelists about this important investor protection issue. Impressively, a comment letter regarding digital engagement practices submitted by these Haub Law students was referenced by SEC Chair Gary Gensler in his opening remarks. SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, SEC Investor Advocate Rick Fleming, SEC Ombudsman Tracey L. McNeil, and others from the SEC, FINRA, and the AARP also either delivered remarks or otherwise participated in the Summit. Congratulations to all!

Pace University Haub Law Professor Leslie Tenzer spoke with PIX 11 about TikTok’s emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to delay the new law passed by Congress which will force the Chinese owner to sell or face a ban. According to Professor Tenzer, the likelihood of anything happening at the highest court is slim. “If you look at how the Supreme Court has dealt with social media issues generally speaking, they have basically thrown up their hands, that social media is so big that they don’t know what to do,” she said.
