A U.S. antitrust law colleague of mine (Steve Cernak) has written what I thought was a very interesting new practical competition/antitrust law publication entitled Antitrust Simulations (2014) (see: here). What caught my eye about this new publication was its effort to bridge the gap between the theoretical – and in the competition/antitrust law world there is a lot of that – and the practical (which is what clients want and students of competition/antirust law should have – when I teach I try to inject as many “real world” scenarios as possible). In sum, this struck me as a very interesting and practical publication well worth a look for potential clients and students alike.
Abstract:
“In practice, abstract antitrust concepts must be applied to specific factual settings. In practice, those facts don’t arrive pre-packaged as they do in opinions and casebooks. Cernak’s Antitrust Simulations: Bridge to Practice provides true-to-life documents and other sources from facts from real-world antitrust matters in all the important substantive areas. Short summaries of the law provide a base for students and enough material for traditional Socratic method teaching. The Teacher’s Manual provides background on the matters and suggestions for class use in both counseling and advocacy settings, including client meetings, compliance presentations, and meetings with opposing counsel. The result is a book that can be used to teach students the law and how it is practiced in the real world.”
