The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is usually the one handing out judgements. But just last month, the powerful self-regulatory agency (SRO) kind of got its own butt handed to it. 

A July decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit could ultimately undermine the very core of FINRA’s mission. Today, we are asking a fascinating question. 

Is FINRA unconstitutional? Recent court decisions say…maybe?

This week we welcome Ben Edwards, Professor at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV to discuss what this decision could mean for our markets.
