What do you get when you take 2,000 securities lawyers....

and put them at a hotel in South Florida? What sounds like a bad joke is actually the 37th Annual Securities Industry Association's Compliance and Legal Division Seminar. With over 2,000 attendees, it is the largest gathering of securities lawyers and compliance directors in the country.

I am at the seminar, and last night's welcome reception was attended by more securities lawyers than you could shake a stick at.

I am actually late for the opening remarks by SIAC&L's President Paul Merolla, and the NASD's Mary Shapiro but will post more information later.
