Law Library — Index
General US law foundations + practice. Distinct from
Suits/(family-specific) andTaxProfessional/(tax-only).Securities-notes scope (de-duplicated in place 2026-05-31): securities-regulation-deep is the canonical owner of the federal-statute foundation (the 1933/1934 Acts, SOX, Dodd-Frank, the Rule 10b-5 antifraud regime, SEC enforcement). securities-and-corporate-law owns the state corporate-law half (DGCL, fiduciary duty, takeover defenses) and securities-regulation-and-ma-practice owns M&A deal practice; both cross-reference the regulation note for the federal statutes rather than restating them.
