DOWNLOAD EBOOK"To try to convey the intellectual richness of this field, this book departs from the usual practice of examining discrete lines of antitrust doctrine from the adoption of the Sherman Act in 1890 to the present. Instead, it takes up the material in successive chronological periods during which the courts employed important contrasting approaches to antitrust issues"--Preface.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis edition of the book offers a comprehensive re-thinking of antitrust law, approaching competition problems in the market from a functional standpoint. The book has roots in prior editions, but it really offers a top-to-bottom reconsideration of how best to present modern issues in antitrust. After a brief introduction to the origins and objectives of antitrust law, the book launches the study of the field with a chapter on the concept of market power and the meaning of competition--building blocks that are essential to understanding everything else that follows in the course. It then devotes three chapters to the primary kinds of antitrust issues that arise from marketplace conduct: horizontal agreements among competitors, vertical distribution agreements, and exclusionary practices (whether done by a single firm or a group). Because of their importance to the economy, as well as to antitrust practice, mergers have their own chapter, which provides not only the important judicial opinions in this area, but also extensive materials from the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, the primary regulators of merger activity. The book then turns to two specialized issues that are of growing importance: the way in which U.S. antitrust laws operate in the global economy, and an innovative new chapter on intellectual property, technology, and platforms. It concludes with a chapter discussing the legal boundaries around the field of antitrust, including exemptions and immunities, and a chapter on the institutional framework for enforcement--the framework that translates words on a page into reality on the ground. The Seventh Edition retains and, where appropriate, adds to, the problems that have been a feature of this book for decades. To maximize instructor flexibility, the problems for each topic now appear at the end of the chapter.

Antitrust Law is a practical casebook using (1) enforcement agency materials, (2) modern case law, and (3) hypothetical problems to train law students to counsel clients, lobby enforcement agencies, and argue to courts. It fully explores the Rule of Reason and per se doctrines as they are understood today, including remedial issues and the conduct necessary to establish a naked or an integrated antitrust agreement. It then addresses the increasingly important limits on antitrust relating to (1) standing and competitive injury; (2) free speech; (3) government regulation; and (4) labor relations. Finally, it examines how the courts apply antitrust law in the context of intellectual property and amateur and professional sports. United States antitrust law has a rich history and a tradition of stimulating in-depth economic analysis. These topics understandably dominate most casebooks. Unfortunately, a typical introductory antitrust class is not long enough to cover history and modern application. And typical law students -- like most judges and even enforcement agency lawyers -- do not have the background necessary to appreciate nuanced economic analysis. Antitrust Law uses historical materials to illustrate on-going practical problems, and it explains economic concepts in plain language giving students just what they need to enter the practice as antitrust lawyers. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe controversial 1922 Federal Baseball Supreme Court ruling held that the "business of base ball" was not subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act because it did not constitute interstate commerce. In Baseball on Trial, legal scholar Nathaniel Grow defies conventional wisdom to explain why the unanimous Supreme Court opinion authored by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, which gave rise to Major League Baseball's exemption from antitrust law, was correct given the circumstances of the time. Currently a billion dollar enterprise, professional baseball teams crisscross the country while the games are broadcast via radio, television, and internet coast to coast. The sheer scope of this activity would seem to embody the phrase "interstate commerce." Yet baseball is the only professional sport--indeed the sole industry--in the United States that currently benefits from a judicially constructed antitrust immunity. How could this be? Drawing upon recently released documents from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Grow analyzes how the Supreme Court reached this seemingly peculiar result by tracing the Federal Baseball litigation from its roots in 1914 to its resolution in 1922, in the process uncovering significant new details about the proceedings. Grow observes that while interstate commerce was measured at the time by the exchange of tangible goods, baseball teams in the 1910s merely provided live entertainment to their fans, while radio was a fledgling technology that had little impact on the sport. The book ultimately concludes that, despite the frequent criticism of the opinion, the Supreme Court's decision was consistent with the conditions and legal climate of the early twentieth century.
