This master treatise provides a comprehensive analysis of the development
and current status of antitrust law, as well as practical guidance for the application of that law.
The brevity and generality of the language of relevant acts, combined
with the ever-increasing volume of antitrust
litigation and varying philosophies of enforcement and interpretation by
courts and agencies, makes Federal
Antitrust Law indispensable to corporate counsel, government attorneys,
and private practitioners specializing in
antitrust law.
Three volumes focus exclusively on nearly 75 years of Federal Trade Commission
work, a subject neglected in
other antitrust works. Includes thorough examinations of the FTC Act; FTC
organization, enforcement and
regulatory procedures; deceptive nondisclosure; price advertising and savings
claims; business and employment
opportunities; and credit and collection practices.
Textual discussion is extensively footnoted with references to all significant
decisions of the FTC and federal
courts; relevant sections of the United States Code; legislative materials;
administrative rules; executive orders;
rules of evidence and procedure; state statutes; and important treatises,
publications and legal periodicals.
Clear organization, extensive cross-references, individual volume and
master indexes speed access to all
applicable text discussion and citations.
