Clyde Mitchell, adjunct professor of banking law at Fordham Law School and a former partner in the banking and financial services group at White & Case, asks two questions: First, do we wait until the current financial services crisis is under control before doing anything about regulatory restructuring, or do we commence the latter at this time? Second, do we deal with systemic risk regulation and resolution on a priority basis, or do we undertake this as a part of the overall consideration of regulatory restructuring?

In his Domestic Banking column, Clyde Mitchell, adjunct professor of banking law at Fordham Law School and a former partner at White & Case, writes that from all appearances, Gramm-Leach-Bliley continues to work, and the effect of Dodd-Frank appears to be mild, however, once the 250 or so implementing regulations currently being drafted by regulators are completed and become effective, this may change.
