Antitrust Basics Brown Bag Series
The American Bar Association Section of Antitrust Law and the Antitrust Committee of the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division jointly produced this 12-part teleconference series which provided an introduction and overview of the many dimensions of antitrust law. Topics included: Sherman Act Section 1; Sherman Act Section 2; Intellectual Property & Antitrust; the Economics of Antitrust; Clayton Act Section 7; Hart-Scott-Rodino Analysis; the Robinson-Patman Act; International Antitrust; Criminal Process & Procedure; State Enforcement; Healthcare & Antitrust; and Vertical Restraints. All brown bags are available for free download by visiting the Basics Brown Bag Webpage.
NEW!! Antitrust Practicum Brown Bag Series
Beginning in late September, 2007, the Antitrust Practicum Brown Bag Series will commence. The Practicum Series will build upon the foundation laid by the Basics Brown Bag Series, but with a decidedly different focus. While the Basics Series was designed to provide an overview of the entire landscape to modern antitrust law and practice, the Practicum Series will seek to provide in-depth analysis and practical guidance as to the day-to-day projects antitrust lawyers in the public and private sector routinely complete. Please refer to the Brown Bag Webpage for the latest information.
