Study

The half-credit add-on seminar will constitute a review of current litigation and FTC/DOJ initiatives that highlight antitrust policy today, including the Biden Executive Order on Competition (and its aftermath).  A special focus will be on antitrust policy towards the digital platforms and the assorted major cases against Google, Facebook and Amazon.  Classes will be more participatory, akin to seminar discussions, than the 3-credit core antitrust class.  Students will submit a final paper, consistent with the obligations of a half-credit seminar, on a topic of their choosing related to contemporary – and future – antitrust policy.  The course will be open to students who have completed or are concurrently enrolled in the core Antitrust course (LAW 205)
