681A. Antitrust Law Short Course.
This short course is designed to cover some of the major topics of a full-length antitrust course, in seven two-hour classes. It will ground students in current antitrust policy and introduce them to the basic principles and modes of analysis that U.S. antitrust lawyers use on a daily basis. After discussing the purpose, policy, U.S. legal structure, and economics of antitrust law, students will explore: cartels and agreements; mergers and acquisitions; single firm conduct; interaction and conflicts between antitrust law and other law and policy; foreign competition law and agencies; and hot topics for current practitioners. This course seeks to provide students with enough policy and practical antitrust knowledge to be able to contribute to any project they may encounter as a first-year associate. [1]
