This chapter begins with a discussion on the capital markets. It compares primary and secondary markets, and long-term versus short-term marketplaces. This is followed by a case study on the auction rate securities (ARS) market. The second section discusses financial instruments, covering the types of financial instruments (equity-based financial instruments, debt-based financial instruments, derivatives, cryptocurrency and digital assets), and the distinction between debt and equity, and federal regulation. The final section deals with the role of the attorney. It discusses competent representation, the duty to advise the client, drafting financial instruments, regulatory compliance, and the issuance of opinion letters to clients regarding the implications of financial transactions.

Significance A new justice has the potential to change the tenor of the Supreme Court's rulings significantly for many years to come, on issues including the scope of federal regulation, campaign finance and the federal government's powers. Scalia was a vocal political and judicial conservative, and the upcoming political fight to appoint his successor will reflect the broader conservative-progressive debate about civil liberties, the scope of the Constitution and the role of government in society. Impacts The Obama administration is likely to see many of its administrative actions upheld, at least until his term ends next January. An open Supreme Court seat may boost turnout by conservative Republican voters worried about a moderate or liberal appointment. Appointment politics and numerous federal vacancies are likely to persist as a feature of divided government in the United States.
