NB: FROM THE EDITOR

WELCOME to the August issue of The Antitrust Source. In this issue, we are pleased to feature two very timely articles on the recent Supreme Court decisions in Leegin and Credit Suisse. The first article, by Marie Fiala and Scott Westrich, considers the practical options for manufacturers following the Supreme Court’s decision in Leegin to lift the nearly 100-year ban on vertical price fixing. The second article, by Andrew Frackman and Brendan Dowd, assesses the implications of Credit Suisse for future antitrust claims challenging securities-related conduct.

We are also delighted to spotlight two commentaries in The Paper Trail. One is a probing review by John Woodbury of Jonathan Baker and Carl Shapiro’s paper, Reinvigorating Horizontal Merger Enforcement; the other is a response by author Dan Crane to Bill Page’s review of Dan’s forthcoming article, Antitrust Antifederalism.

This is the final issue of The Source for the 2006–2007 ABA year and also my last issue as Editorial Chair. I would like to say a special thank you to the members of the Editorial Board of The Source for their unflagging commitment to the highest quality of publication. I look forward to reading the future issues of The Source.
