The class will examine the issues of current controversies in Antitrust. Topics will include: the role of efficiencies in merger analysis, tying doctrine after the Supreme Court's Eastman Kodak decision, and recent changes in the law governing who has "standing" to challenge admittedly unlawful practices. This course will spend a significant amount of time considering sources of "law" other than Supreme Court decisions, e.g., lower court decisions, Department of Justice Guidelines, and decisions of the Federal Trade Commission.
