Course Description:
Examines the major federal laws promoting competition, including the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and surveys the application and enforcement of these laws by the government and private litigants. The federal antitrust laws, first created to break apart the powerful business “trusts” of the late 1800s, have since been applied to markets as diverse as utilities, ski areas, sports leagues, copy machine repair services, and computer hardware and software. Addresses the current debate over the appropriate role of antitrust law in our increasingly global, service-oriented, and technology-based economy.
