Antitrust Law


Course Description

This course addresses the role of antitrust in protecting the United States’ market economy from anti-competitive restraints and practices, with a special focus on high technology industries. The course examines the role of the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914.

Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate law students will not be doing any extra work beyond that required of the Juris Doctor students. J.D. students are post-baccalaureate students and the workload expected of them is the same workload expected of post-baccalaureate graduate students. Law students are professional students, not undergraduate students. Graduate law students are primarily international lawyers seeking expertise in the American legal system. This expertise is gained through exposure to Juris Doctor courses.
