On Saturday March 19, 2005, the Islamic Finance Project of the Islamic Legal Studies Program hosted an all-day interactive workshop entitled “The Supervision and Regulation of Islamic Financial Institutions in the United States.” The workshop was one of the first of its kind to allow key industry players among financial institutions and representatives from many of the relevant regulatory bodies to directly address their respective concerns regarding the establishment of Islamic financial product markets in the United States. In addition to the representatives from the institutions and regulatory bodies, Professor Frank Vogel of Harvard Law School, Professor Samuel Hayes of Harvard Business School, and Professor Clement Henry of the University of Texas at Austin were also in attendance..
