THE TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL A.A. SOMMER, JR. LECTURE ON CORPORATE, SECURITIES & FINANCIAL LAW AT THE FORDHAM CORPORATE LAW CENTER

John Peloso is a distinguished alum of our law school and was the driving force behind the creation of our Corporate Law Center ("Center") and the establishment of this lecture more than 20 years ago. Corporate compliance brings together both our law school's strength and expertise in financial law and corporate law, as well as our deep commitment to ethics, which stems from our Jesuit values and tradition. Prior to being sworn into office in 2019, Commissioner Lee was a securities law practitioner, teacher, and an SEC veteran, having worked in the Division of Enforcement and as counsel to previous Commissioner, Kara Stein.
