The Regulation of Corporate Disclosure, Third Edition is a complete and up-to-date handbook on the issue of corporate disclosure, covering the impact of the federal securities laws on both informal communications and the process of communicating with shareholders.

The third edition expands topics previously covered, addressing the legal issues and practical concerns surrounding implementation of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The book also has an in-depth treatment of management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), something that, although appearing in required SEC filings, involves many of the same difficult and complex issues raised by the informal disclosure process. Also addressed are: SEC reforms of the periodic reporting process; issues pertaining to stock research analysts and conflicts of interest; and various relevant corporate governance requirements and their disclosure implications.

Critical areas analyzed include:

• Disclosure requirements and anti-fraud provisions
• The duty to disclose
• Dissemination
• Issues involving materiality
• Disclosure of bad news
• Negotiations
• Dealing with analysts
• And much more!

Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive, practical, and theoretical framework for mediating disputes over rights in Canada. One of the unique features of this book is that it brings together, in one source, all of the multi-disciplinary literature on negotiation and mediation in the important context of conflicts over rights. The central theme is the power of authentic "talk" and "listening" in the resolution of our most difficult disputes.

The author provides strategic advice on the best dispute resolution practices and the role of lawyers and law in legal dispute negotiations. Practitioners will develop an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of dispute resolution and the tailoring of facilitative practices to particular disputes or barriers for successful interventions.

This resource was written for lawyers, mediators, and other conflict resolution professionals, such as human resource practitioners, judges, and tribunal members. As well, particular attention was also paid to law students.

What's included:

• An update of the most recent multi-disciplinary literature on dispute resolution in one accessible source;
• An analysis of a wide range of cutting-edge techniques for intervening in legal disputes, particularly those that are emotional or involving many parties;
• Extensive updates on the role of emotions, ethics, and on-line technology in conflict resolution;
• Descriptions of the practice routines of experienced negotiators and mediators in preparing to intervene;
• A review of new and evolving mediation theories; and
• An analysis of recent developments in the law pertaining to the confidentiality of mediated settlement discussions.

About the Author
The Honourable George W. Adams, Q.C. is one of Canada's most experienced professional mediators. He is an award winning author as well as a former superior court judge, law professor, agency head, senior bureaucrat, and legal practitioner. He has used Mediating Justice to educate law students at the University of Toronto School of Law in negotiation theory and practice and to provide mediation training to senior administrative tribunal members and lawyers.

Dubbed the "guru" of mediation by the National Post, Adams has mediated in a vast range of legal conflict situations. In 1997 he resigned from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, in a rare instance of a judge stepping down from the bench to establish a neutral dispute resolution practice.
