Remarks Of CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo Before The Sims Lecture At Vanderbilt Law School, Nashville, Tennessee - Derivatives Regulatory Reform: A Principles-based Software Upgrade

Date 13/04/2018

Thank you.  Good afternoon.

I thank Dean Guthrie and the faculty of Vanderbilt Law School.

I especially thank the Sims family for their continued commitment to the lecture series and to the law school.  The Cecil Sims Lectures are important.  They are followed closely by legal practitioners and scholars the world over.

When I left these Vanderbilt halls thirty-four years ago, I never dreamed that I would be asked back to give the Sims Lecture.  It is a profound privilege and I am humbled by it.
