Recognition Of The National Football League As A Single Entity Under Section 1 Of The Sherman Act: Implications Of The Consumer Welfare Model, Myron C. Grauer

Michigan Law Review

This article argues that Justice Rehnquist has analyzed the operational structure of the NFL in a manner that is consistent with proper antitrust enforcement policy, and expands upon the view that he espoused. It contends that the NFL is analogous to a law firm partnership, with the teams analogous to departments or partners that can make operating rules for the firm without fear of violating section 1 of the Sherman Act. In arriving at the opposite conclusion, both the Oakland Raiders and NASL courts relied on several cases involving player restraints that presupposed that teams in professional sports leagues, such …

A Free Press: The Forgotten Issue In Home Placement V. Providence Journal, Robert J. Curran

Seattle University Law Review

This Note demonstrates that the court's decision in Home Placement did infringe upon protected first amendment activity. Since free speech and free press guarantees were threatened by the government's action, the court should have balanced the competing interests and held in favor of Home Placement only upon a showing of a compelling state interest. After examining the interests of the advertiser, the reader, the government, and the newspaper, this Note concludes that the newspaper's right to control its message and to make editorial decisions free from the threat of governmental interference overbalance the antitrust claim made in this case. A …

Book Review: Eec Competition Law: Business Issues And Legal Principles In Common Market Antitrust Cases By U.P. Toepke

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

EEC competition law can be a strange and baffling creature for an observer familiar only with United States antitrust law. There is a tendency to make very straight-forward comparisons between these two systems. Each system is part of a federal structure of legal regulation which applies to practices capable of affecting trade between member states. In additiona, both the Sherman Act and the Treaty of Rome establish two-part scheme for regulation competition with different standards in judging agreements between firms on the one hand and the actions of monopolists or dominant firms on the other hand. Like sections 1 and …
