FOREWORD

The Section of Antitrust Law of the American Bar Association is

pleased to publish the Indirect Purchaser Litigation Handbook. The

Handbook explores the background of antitrust claims brought by

indirect purchasers and describes the legal framework for addressing the

issues that commonly arise in indirect purchaser litigation.

The Handbook was prepared by a working group, headed by Michael

A. Lindsay and Ronald W. Breaux, within the Section’s Trial Practice

Committee. The Section appreciates the expertise and experience that

have gone into this initial edition of the Handbook. This Section hopes

that the Handbook will contribute greatly to the bench’s and bar’s

understanding of indirect purchaser litigation.
