Welcome!
The New York
State Bar Association’s Antitrust Law Section is pleased to offer
Section members access to substantive information on antitrust law, as
well as the opportunity to help create an antitrust-focused electronic
community. The purpose of this Section is to bring together such
members of the New York State Bar as are interested in antitrust law, to
educate and promote the interests of the public and the Bar in the area
of antitrust law and to review and, where appropriate, comment upon
pending legislation and regulations.
