FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law is pleased to publish this Handbook of

U.S. Antitrust Sources. This Handbook is designed to give practitioners

easy access to the most fundamental resources for practicing antitrust

law. It collects the full text of the relevant antitrust statutes, the most

important statutory antitrust exemptions, all current federal antitrust

guidelines, and the Hart-Scott-Rodino rules.

The principal editor and project leader for this Handbook was

Stephen A. Stack, ably assisted by a working group headed up by

members of the Section’s Civil Practice and Procedure Committee. We

believe antitrust practitioners will find this Handbook to be an important

resource for their practice.
