   "text": "Treating the U.S. location of a broker as making the securities purchase domestic would circumvent most of the Morrison holding, since a foreign buyer of foreign securities could invoke U.S. law simply by routing the order through a U.S. broker.",
   "abstract": "The U.S. broker places the order based on an order from a foreign client, and U.S. securities law arguably would apply to the securities purchase, even if executed on a non-US. exchange. This line of argument would circum- vent most of the holding in Morrison.",

   "text": "Non-U.S. investors have a strong incentive to route foreign trades through U.S. brokers if that preserves a U.S. cause of action, because their home jurisdictions rarely offer the attractive features of the U.S. system such as broad discovery, higher damages, class actions, and no exposure to defendants' costs.",
   "abstract": "Indeed, the home jurisdiction of non-U.S. clients of U.S. brokers is not likely to provide many of the attractive features of the U.S. legal system, such as unparalleled discovery, a tendency towards higher damages and settle- ment amounts, the availability of securities class actions",
