FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law is pleased to publish the FTC Practice

and Procedure Manual (Second Edition). In the seven years since the

First Edition was released, the Federal Trade Commission has

energetically pursued its competition and consumer protection missions

through litigation, advocacy, consumer and business education, and

research. A lot has changed at 600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.

Practitioners before the FTC will greatly benefit from additional, updated

guidance on the way the agency works.

The Antitrust Section is grateful to the many lawyers and support

staff who worked on this book. The Section is especially grateful for the

work of the book’s general editor, John Graubert, who also received

substantial assistance from Don Clark. The many other participants in

this important project are credited by name in the Preface.
