Analysis of DOJ?s Section 2 Report

By David Fischer

We infrequently publicize ABA seminars but we are making an exception today.  On December 11, the ABA Section of Antitrust Law is hosting an “Analysis of the Department of Justice’s Section Two Report.”  As the ABA’s website states the focus of the one hour, thirty 30 minute seminar is:

the Department of Justice?s (DOJ) report on Section 2 of the Sherman Act, titled “Competition and Monopoly: Single-Firm Conduct under Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” 

Although the DOJ has stated that the Report reflects the substance of hearings on Section 2 that were conducted jointly with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) throughout 2006, the FTC has refused to endorse the report. 

What is particularly attractive about this seminar is that two of the three panelists are Kenneth L. Glazer (Deputy Director, Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission) and James J. O’Connell, Jr. (Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, Department of Justice).  With luck, there will be fireworks.
