FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law of the American Bar Association is

pleased to present the second edition of the Energy Antitrust Handbook.

The Handbook presents a guide to an industry of increasing importance

to the U.S. economy. The Handbook is designed to assist energy,

regulatory, and antitrust lawyers in understanding the multilayered

complexity of this field.

The Antitrust Section wishes to express its thanks to the Handbook’s

editors and many contributors. They have created a work that will add

significant insight to the scholarship in this area. The Antitrust Section

also would like to acknowledge the editors and contributors who made

the first edition of this book possible.

In addition, the Antitrust Section gratefully acknowledges the

administrative and secretarial support of Fulbright & Jaworski in

preparing this Handbook.
