(I)t organizes the materials conceptually, rather than formalistically, and thereby helps the student and practitioner alike analyze antitrust issues... -- The Antitrust Source, March 2003

This review is from: Antitrust Law in Perspective: Cases, Concepts and Problems in Competition Policy, 2003 (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)

This casebook is yet another testament to the genius of Prof. Jonathan Baker, a true guru of antitrust law. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the relevant concepts, tying them together with case studies. It is a great resource for law school students wishing to gain a solid understanding of antitrust concepts and analysis, also providing them with historical background, underlying economic theories, and policy perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Antitrust Law in Perspective...accurate title!, April 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Antitrust Law in Perspective: Cases, Concepts and Problems in Competition Policy, 2003 (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)

After two years in law school, it is refreshing to use such a well-organized, comprehensive casebook. I have the additional pleasure of learning the subject from one of the authors. Professor Gavil conveys the same passion and clarity for the subject in the classroom as he does in this book. Definitely a great investment, and I would even suggest as a study aid to those law students unfortunate enough to be using another casebook! Good luck in law school.
