Abstract
Under the Uniform Securities Act (Act or USA), in-house accountants, analysts, attorneys, and other inside gatekeepers may be held responsible for running afoul of the secondary liability provisions of the USA, while their outside counterparts will escape liability. As a result, an inherent inequity in treatment exists between inside and outside actors in private state securities litigation.
