This reference for lawyers, law students, economists, and government officials offers expanded and updated versions of the American essays in the publisher's The International Handbook on Private Enforcement of Competition Law and integrates cases related to class actions, in order to help readers appreciate the macro complexities of private antitrust enforcement. The book also contains new chapters by new authors, on topics such as the role of economists and expert witnesses, cy pres remedies, and proposals for reform. A new chapter on strategic aspects of settlement practice is authored by a pair of plaintiff-side and defense-side class action lawyers. An introduction examines the benefits of private antitrust enforcement by reference to an empirical study of 40 large private cases, conducted by the American Antitrust Institute. Later chapters describe each step of the process of private enforcement of antitrust law, mainly from the perspective of the complainant, and also consider practical and strategic issues surrounding the decisions of private practitioners. Foer and Stutz are affiliated with the American Antitrust Institute. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
