A Note For Students About the ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting

February 5, 2021 by Robert Connolly

The ABA Antitrust Law Spring meeting will, unfortunately, be virtual again this year.  This is disappointing to me as I have gone every year for, well, a very long time. I enjoy seeing old friends, making new ones, and getting away for a few days to DC. But as I was looking through the meeting program, a silver lining jumped out to me–especially for students.  Because the meeting is virtual, the program cost is greatly reduced for everyone.  For students it is just $25 until 2/5 (today) but only $50 thereafter. And, of course, there are no travel expenses.

If you are a student interested in antitrust, or just interested in learning more about antitrust and big tech, merger law and/or many other subjects that are currently in the news, this is a great opportunity to participate/learn in a uniquely economical way.  I love the ABA Spring Meeting for the diversity in topics and the quality of the panels. I always leave the Spring Meeting in awe of how smart and committed to competition this group is and how lucky I am to be a part of it.  Given the “low barriers to entry” I wanted to suggest students consider this opportunity. It may lead you to a career in a field you’ll never regret.

Hope to see you on line.

The US Supreme Court has called cartels "the supreme evil of antitrust." Price fixing and bid rigging may not be all that evil as far as supreme evils go, but an individual can get 10 years in jail and corporations can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars. This blog will provide news, insight and analysis of the world of cartels based on the many years my colleagues and I have as former feds with the Antitrust Division, USDOJ.
