Start: 4/16/2009 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

You have heard about the credit crisis and the national bailout in the news, now come and listen to esteemed professionals and renowned professors speak on the subject at the Hastings Business Law Journal’s symposium, “Beyond the Bailout: Risk, Responsibility and the Road Ahead”.
Topics that will be addressed include:
- The scope and effects of the crisis on the financial real estate markets both in the U.S. and abroad
- Regulating risk and how regulators failed to make credit-rating agencies, banks, and securities firms rein in their risk before the crisis
- How to bring values to Wall Street to reduce corruption and fraud
- Innovation and the resurgence of the Bay Area and beyond
We have the privilege of hosting Mr. Lynn Turner, the former chief accountant for the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the keynote speaker. Turner recently testified at the congressional hearing on the collapse of AIG.
Come with your questions and expect a fresh, intellectual, and multi-faceted discussion of the economic crisis.
