Official Source Note

Harvard Law School's historical faculty page lists Loss as William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law and Professor Emeritus, records his research area as securities law, and identifies Securities Regulation and Fundamentals of Securities Regulation among his representative publications.

Loss is included because his treatise structure remains a reference point for understanding securities regulation as a field: registration, disclosure, trading markets, antifraud rules, enforcement, and administrative practice.

Relevance to the Archive

Loss anchors the archive's securities-law materials because law-and-economics analysis of disclosure, trading, enforcement, and liability still depends on a reliable map of the doctrinal system.
