The authors' goal, in preparing this Antitrust Law: Interpretation and Implementation casebook, is to communicate a sense of how antitrust law affects both business decisions and lawyerly practice. This book addresses the difficulty that most students initially have in seeing how the different statutes, doctrinal developments, and economic issues fit together into some reasonably coherent picture. The authors achieve this by presenting a set of overview materials that provide a useful perspective and roadmap about the balance of the course.
This Antitrust Law: Interpretation and Implementation includes more lower court cases and more "real-world" material such as jury instructions. Although the text is sparing in its presentation of economic models, the authors have also integrated important economics into every part of the text. The authors show how a few simple models, as well as more general implications of social-science thinking, yield important insights and also wield much influence in antitrust jurisprudence. The book includes an expanded use of clarifying visual-aid "exhibits" to help students better understand complex issues in law as well as economics.
