Reviews

’The 2012 Handbook is one of the most practical and strategic looks at the formulation and conduct of private treble litigation available. It is practically unique in going beyond the substance of the antitrust law and giving the reader a peek behind the curtain as to how private antitrust litigation actually functions. It will prove to be of great value to students and practitioners, both inside and outside the United States, who want to understand what really occurs in and outside the courtroom.’
