Lecturer in Law: Mark Popofsky
Private actions comprise the dominant mode of competition law enforcement in the United States. This advanced seminar explores the goals of, and key issues that arise in, private antitrust enforcement and how private enforcement fits with government antitrust enforcement. Topics include tensions between deterrence and compensation objectives, institutional design and role of “private attorneys general,” issues specific to private enforcement such as standing, repose, and antitrust jury trials, conflicts with government antitrust enforcement, and the role of antitrust class actions.
