| Philip R. Wood This article examines the criteria which might usefully be usedto distinguish between the regulatory law of the various jurisdictionsof which there are about 320 in the world, representing about193 sovereign states.

The public responsibility of structured finance lawyers (see p. 6)
| Steven L. Schwarcz Structured finance lawyers increasingly are being scrutinizedwhen companies fail, but there is confusion as to the standardsby which they should be judged. Society benefits where such lawyers are permitted to help facilitatematters in which neither the lawyer's actions nor the underlyingtransaction is, at the time, illegal as a matter of positivelaw.
