Hall v. Geiger-Jones Co. 242 U.S. 539 (1917) is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld individual states’ power to regulate the offer sale and purchase of securities. Such regulatory laws are commonly known today as blue-sky laws; the phrase is often said to be based on this opinion although speculative securities were described as blue sky in sources published prior to this opinion.
