FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law is pleased to publish The Insurance

Antitrust Handbook, Third Edition. The Handbook was prepared by the

Section's Insurance and Financial Services Committee and is designed to

update the original Handbook, first published in 1995, with a Second

Edition following ten years later. The Handbook is intended to serve as an

introduction and general guide to the application of the federal antitrust

laws to common activities in the insurance industry, and this Third Edition

reflects the changes that have occurred in the antitrust laws over the last

decade. We hope that this Third Edition of the Handbook, like the First

and Second Editions, will be especially helpful to those advising insurance

clients.

The Section of Antitrust Law is particularly grateful to Third Edition

editor Brent Austin, and his team of contributing authors, who dedicated

many hours to the preparation of The Insurance Antitrust Handbook, Third

Edition, under the leadership of Henry McFarland and Eric Stock, Chairs

of the Insurance and Financial Services Committee of the Section of

Antitrust Law.
