Testimonials

• Paul Stancil, Visiting Professor, University of Illinois College of Law -

"The 2004 Masters Course was the single best CLE seminar I have attended in ten years of practice. The faculty was top-notch, and the course materials and seminar sessions were equally good. But the Masters Course was far more than just a really good seminar. Specifically, it gave me a chance to do two things a young antitrust lawyer practicing outside Washington, D.C. rarely gets to do: (1) meet and interact with a fantastic group of peers from D.C. and across the country; and (2) meet and learn from some of the leading lights of the antitrust bar, from practitioners and professors to enforcers and judges. Where else can a young lawyer sit next to the Chair of the FTC at dinner one night, spend two hours talking antitrust with a distinguished professor the next, and finish up by getting to know a Circuit Court of Appeals judge? If I had met any of those folks at a Spring Meeting or other Section function, I would have been limited to a quick hello. Instead I got to know them, and those relationships (and the relationships I built with my peers) have already paid dividends in my professional life."

"The Masters Course is an exceptional opportunity for young antitrust attorneys. Far from being just another multi-day CLE program, it is the antitrust equivalent of getting to play baseball with the World Series champions for four days in a row. You get to immerse yourself in sophisticated discussions on a wide variety of topics with a small group of remarkably talented faculty and fellow practitioners. You will leave this program with dozens of new insights, ideas and professional relationships."

• Eamon O'Kelly, Dewey Ballantine LLP

"I have never attended a better course than the 2004 Antitrust Masters. The faculty were top-notch, the seminar-style setting encouraged a fruitful exchange of ideas, and we got to hobnob with FTC Commissioners and other antitrust aristocracy. Oh - we earned lots of CLE credit too! One word of caution: The Antitrust Masters is designed for senior associates with a fair amount of antitrust experience; I do not believe it would be very useful for an antitrust beginner."

• Patrick J. Kelleher, Gardner Carton & Douglas, Chicago, IL

"The inaugural Masters Program in 2002 was the finest educational program sponsored by the Antitrust Section that I've attended. The excellent instructors identify the main issues in antitrust law and flesh them out rather than simply relying upon labels. I walked away from the program with usable advice for counseling and for litigation, plus materials I still use today. And all of this is in a setting that lets you get to know better your peers and some of the most distinguished government officials and private practitioners in the field. It was an enriching experience for me and I recommend it."

• Mark Opashinov, Partner, Competition Group, McMillan Binch LLP, Toronto, Canada"

"I was one of the lucky few to attend the inaugural Antitrust Masters Course in 2002. I found the program an excellent in-depth study in antitrust principles that was ably conveyed by among the most experienced antitrust practitioners anywhere. It was also a wonderful setting to see colleagues from across the United States and around the world."
