Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
The Financial Crisis and the Path of Reform
OLLI at U-M (50+)
Speaker: Michael Barr, Professor, School of Law, U-M
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is being severely criticized by some in Congress for over-regulating banks, while others say the law didn’t go far enough. Professor Barr brings with him a vast knowledge of financial regulation and policy making in Washington and can give us a first-hand view of reform.
Professor Barr teaches about financial institutions, international finance, financial derivatives, transnational law, and jurisdiction and choice of law. He was on leave in 2009-10, serving as the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions, and was a key architect of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
This is the second of 9 lectures in OLLI’s monthly 2nd Tuesday Distinguished Lecture Series.
