Marc I. Steinberg is the Rupert and Lillian Radford Professor of Law at the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Dedman School of Law. He has served as a Professor or Fellow at several other outstanding universities, including the University of Cambridge, University of London, Heidelberg University, Stockholm University, Bar Ilan University, University of Sydney, University of Hong Kong, and University of Pennsylvania. Professor Steinberg was an attorney for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the SEC's Enforcement Division and its Office of General Counsel. He also has been retained as an expert witness in several high profile cases. Professor Steinberg has authored more than 150 law review articles as well as 36 books. He is editor-in-chief of The International Lawyer and The Securities Regulation Law Journal. Professor Steinberg is a member of the American Law Institute.

Professor Steinberg's book is an extremely important addition to the development of our securities laws. I put this on par with Professor Loss's Treatise on the Securities Laws. It demonstrates the emergence of Professor Steinberg as the leading scholar in the field. The treatise demonstrates Professor Steinberg's control of the subject matter, and his ability to see where the law is going and to show how it is getting there. That is why the Steinberg book is so important.
