Executive Summary Of The Antitrust Laws
Richard M. Steuer of Mayer Brown LLP

The scope of federal antitrust regulation is all-pervasive, with virtually every business of significance falling within its reach. With the notorious exception of the Robinson-Patman Act, the relevant statutory provisions are deceptively simple. Each can be set forth on one page, and all are expressed in straightforward language which, at face value, is readily comprehensible even to the uninitiated. More than a century of judicial construction and active governmental and private enforcement have put substantial flesh on the bare-boned statutory texts.
