When Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, it expanded the SEC’s power to use its in-house administrative forum to bring enforcement actions. Supporters said this change promoted investor protection by giving the SEC a more efficient avenue in an expanded set of cases. Almost a decade after Dodd-Frank was passed, however, this benefit has not materialized. Instead, the SEC’s in-house forum has been subject to repeated constitutional attacks and has been criticized for failing to serve as a fair forum to litigate cases to final judgment more quickly.
