2015 Program
The Fisher Memorial Program was held on April 17, 2015 at the Spring Meeting of the ABA Business Law Section in San Francisco, California.
The topic was “Enhanced Government Regulation: The Path to Consumer Protection or an Obstacle to Innovation?”
The program covered the effects of enhanced regulation in the financial services area and considered whether that regulatory environment is creating impediments to innovation in underwriting and delivery of services. It also considered the actions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in attempting to accommodate those potentially conflicting concerns.
