Use this page to keep tabs on the global financial crisis.

The world financial crisis has gone well beyond subprime mortgages. Accordingly, the new tabbed Financial Crisis page, which features the entire contents of the Subprime page, has superseded the Subprime page.

The Financial Crisis page contains links and shortcuts to subprime-related primary authorities, analytical materials, public records, and current awareness resources. Moreover, the Financial Crisis page offers direct links to hot documents as well as easy access to a range of legal analysis, current awareness, administrative materials, and other documents relating to the domestic and international financial crisis.

In addition, the page offers easy access to

1. the table of contents of more than 80 major federal statutes and regulations governing financial institutions
2. more than 50 surveys that compare—on a state-by-state basis—statutes and regulations affecting financial transactions
3. due diligence reports for specific companies
4. articles from Andrews litigation reporters and other current awareness materials

You can easily search an individual resource by clicking its link in the left frame of the Financial Crisis page. For example, click Financial Crisis News under News, Journals, and Law Reviews to access the Financial Crisis News database (FC-NEWS) and run your search.

You can also click a link under Recent Developments to display the full-text of a document or links to trial court documents. No searching required!
