Its thorough analysis and criticism of U.S. Supreme Court, appellate court and major lower court antitrust decisions will help you truly understand the underpinnings of the law and frame successful arguments in litigation. The most recently revised volumes contain greatly expanded coverage of the Noerr-Pennington doctrine; state action, implied, and statutory immunity; and the international and extraterritorial application of U.S. antitrust laws. Author Herbert Hovenkamp is recognized as one of the foremost experts on antitrust law in the country and has consulted extensively for both the government and the private sector.
