These violations are closely related to stockbroker churning, blue sky law violations, and breaches of fiduciary duty. Stockbroker churning, also known as excessive trading, occurs when a stockbroker makes excessive and unnecessary trades in a customer's account solely to generate commissions for themselves. This deceptive practice results in financial detriment to the client while benefiting the stockbroker. In cases involving stockbroker churning, the Nevada Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 guides the jury to assess the evidence and determine if the stockbroker's actions meet the legal requirements for fraudulent practices or courses of dealing. Violation of Blue Sky Law refers to the breach of regulations governing the sale of securities within a particular state. Blue sky laws aim to protect investors from fraudulent activities and deceptive practices in the securities market. If a stockbroker sells securities without complying with the requirements of the applicable blue sky law, it can be considered a violation. When a case involves a violation of blue sky law, the Nevada Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 educates the jury about the necessary elements for establishing such a violation and aiding them in reaching a well-informed decision. Breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a stockbroker fails to act in the best interest of their client. Stockbrokers have a fiduciary duty to their clients, meaning they must prioritize their client's interests above their own. If a stockbroker engages in conduct that benefits them at the expense of their client or fails to disclose any conflicts of interest, it can constitute a breach of fiduciary duty. The Nevada Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 helps the jury understand the legal standards that define a breach of fiduciary duty and determine if the evidence shows such a breach occurred.
