Antitrust Law

The CCH Trade Regulation Reporter compiles most of the relevant primary U.S. legal materials, including FTC complaints and orders and some Department of Justice materials. The Reporter is available in print as a multi-volume looseleaf and on Lexis (CCH;CCHTRD), Westlaw (CCH-TRR) and the subscription-based CCH Antitrust & Trade Regulation Integrated Library on Intelliconnect.

The Antitrust section of Federal Trade Commission's Web site posts complaints, orders, final actions and "matters for public comment, as well as Advisory Opinions on Healthcare, early termination notices, Policy Statements and Guidelines, Congressional testimony, speeches, etc. (www.ftc.gov/ftc/antitrust.htm).

FTC Watch is searchable on Lexis back to July 1990 (TRADE;FTCWAT). Westlaw has a database of antitrust-related news articles (ATRNEWS). Law360 has a Competition news alert.

The leading treatise on antitrust law is the multi-volume Antitrust Law: An Analysis of Antitrust Principles and Their Application, written by Phillip E. Areeda and Herbert Hovenkamp, published by Aspen.

State Laws: The antitrust laws of all states are republished in the CCH's Trade Regulation Reporter and in the ABA's State Antitrust Practice and Statutes, which provides 25 pages of commentary for each state. To find state antitrust case law, look in an annotated edition of the relevant state's statutory code.

Foreign Laws: EU antitrust laws, cases and other materials are available through the Europa Competition page. The page also provides legislation, cases and other materials relating to the regulation of mergers. The EU edition of Mlex provides detailed coverage of EU cases and other antitrust news, and organizes the information into a searchable database that can be used either for background research or as a business development tool.

Several volumes in the Getting the Deal Through series (print and online) explain various aspects of antitrust law for individual foreign countries. Relevant titles include Private Antitrust Litigation, Pharmaceutical Antitrust, Intellectual Property & Antitrust and Cartel Regulation and Merger Control.
