From chartering banks to closing them and everything in between, this is an invaluable primary resource. This work places practitioners, researchers and financial services personnel within easy reach of legal concepts and court decisions from international to the domestic and from unique banking statutes to criminal rules of general applicability."

"...Banking Law in the United States maintains the valuable mix of history, current developments and important essays on the future of banking law. Banking and financial laws are placed clearly in context while being fully explored with regulatory and case materials; this remains a feature unique to this work."

"With the increased complexity of financial institutions and enhanced responsibilities and regulatory expectations for banks, bankers and bank directors, those involved with financial institutions must have a solid understanding of basic banking law. Critical information to fill this need may be found in every chapter of Banking Law in the United States, a work that is well structured and easy to use."
