FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law of the American Bar Association is

pleased to publish the second edition of Frequently Asked Antitrust

Questions. In addition to updating the law since the 2004 edition, this

revision of Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions provides more in-depth

discussion than its predecessor. The second edition continues the

tradition of providing an easy to read, quick introduction to a wide

variety of competition issues that lawyers, particularly in-house

corporate counsel, face frequently.

The first edition of Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions was very

well received. Given the substantial changes to the law since 2004, such

as Twombly and Leegin, it became clear that a revision was required.

Although this is not one of the Section’s larger publications, it still

required substantial time and effort to complete. This edition of

Frequently Asked Antitrust Questions was shepherded to completion by

the current leadership of the Section’s Corporate Counseling Committee.

Particular thanks go to Eric J. Stock and Jerome A. Swindell for their

time and diligence in overseeing the team of volunteers that did the

actual drafting. The Section appreciates the experience, expertise and

effort that are required to bring superior publications to our membership

and we believe this publication will become a valuable resource for your

practice.
