The Seton Hall University School of Law Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Investor Advocacy Project (“IAP”) is one of 10 securities arbitration clinics throughout the United States.  The FINRA IAP program at Seton Hall Law is a pro bono program that provides free legal representation to New Jersey residents of modest means with securities fraud claims.

In addition to providing free legal representation, the FINRA IAP program also conducts financial literacy and informed investing presentations throughout New Jersey.  The presentation will first cover the challenges facing every investor – including both inflation and understanding the different types of investment and saving products. Next, the presentation provides tips on applying for and maintaining credit cards. Finally, the program concludes with tips on avoiding investment pitfalls and the questions that every investor should ask when choosing an investment professional and an investment product. There will be a short period for questions following the presentation.
