Description

Administrative proceedings are cases before the Securities and Exchange Commission administrative judges, as opposed to criminal cases or civil cases filed in federal courts. The administrative judges can issue cease-and-desist orders, hand out civil penalties, and bar parties to associate with investment advisers, brokers or dealers. The database also tracks administrative proceedings that parallel criminal or civil proceedings. The database, structured like a judge’s docket sheet, covers such proceedings from 1989 forward.
