PREFACE

The Antitrust Evidence Handbook (2d ed.) was prepared under the aegis

of the Civil Practice and Procedure Committee of the Antitrust Section of

the American Bar Association. The edition updates the original

Handbook published in 1991. The new edition retains the user-friendly

organization and format of the original version. The new edition also

incorporates the latest statutory and case law developments in the

evidence field. The most significant development in antitrust evidence in

the last decade has been the treatment of expert testimony under Daubert

and its progeny. The chapter devoted to experts has been completely

rewritten to take account of these changes. Many members of the

Antitrust Section contributed to the second edition. We are especially

grateful to Civil Practice and Procedure Committee Vice-Chairs Debra

H. Dermody and Amy A. Stathos for their contributions and editorial

oversight of this project. We thank contributors Rick Acker, Alexander

Baehr, Donald E. Broadfield, Jr., Jennifer Fountain Connolly, Eric P.

Enson, Joy Foyuno, Allen P. Grunes, Mindy Harper, Frank M. Hinman,

Tracey D. Jones, Michael B. Kades, Emma Killick, Danielle R. Merida,

Marta E. Miyar, Mark Robertson, Harry T. Robins and Sujal J. Shah.

The editorial board consisted of Edward D. Cavanagh, Donn P. Pickett,

Elise Kirban, Kathryn M. Fenton, Jonathan M. Jacobson, Keith D.

Shugarman and Anthony W. Swisher. The Council reviewers were

Richard M. Steuer and Christopher J. MacAvoy. Finally, we are grateful

for the hard work of the support staff and volunteers at Morgan, Lewis &

Bockius, LLP and Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP.
