Over the past two to three decades economics has played an increasingly important role in the development of U.S. antitrust enforcement and policy. This essay first reviews the major facets of U.S. antitrust enforcement and next reviews the ways in which economics - starting from a low base - has grown in importance in antitrust. The essay then highlights three antitrust areas in which the influence of economics has had the greatest influence: merger analysis, vertical relationships, and predatory pricing. The essay concludes with the identification of four antitrust areas where further economics analysis could have high returns.

This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...

In two big busts in the past six weeks, the Metro Drug Unit seized more than 50 pounds of marijuana. Thats nearly half the total amount confiscated in all of last year. The unit seized 28.5 pounds from a vehicle in Charleston last week and 24.5 pounds from a home on the citys West Side in June. Weve had a great year, said Lt. Chad Napier, the units commander and a Charleston Police officer. This year has been the best year of my career. Napier said the quantity of illegal drugs and drug money seized by the department is up across the board this year but because of the large number of active cases, he is limited on what he can talk about. He did provide some statistics for 2009. Napier noted an increase in OxyContin seizures last year, rising from 503 pills seized in 2008 to 1,857 pills ...
