Baseball's Third Strike: The Triumph Of Collective Bargaining In Professional Baseball, Robert A. Mccormick
Baseball's Third Strike: The Triumph Of Collective Bargaining In Professional Baseball, Robert A. Mccormick
Vanderbilt Law Review
Since the inception of professional baseball, team owners have imposed limits on the freedom of players to negotiate contract terms. In this article Professor McCormick traces the history of attempts by professional baseball players to obtain contractual freedoms through the use of the antitrust and labor relations laws, attempts that culminated with the players' strike of 1981. Although players in other team sports successfully have utilized antitrust laws to increase player bargaining power, Professor McCormick argues that labor law has provided baseball players the only effective means to gain increased contractual freedoms. Professor McCormick concludes that player-owner disputes over the …
Municipalities And The Antitrust Laws: Home Rule Authority Is Insufficient To Ensure State Action Immunity, David J. White
Municipalities And The Antitrust Laws: Home Rule Authority Is Insufficient To Ensure State Action Immunity, David J. White
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Recent Development first considers the evolution of the Parker doctrine in a variety of contexts-with special attention to the Supreme Court's decision in Lafayette and the Court's rationale in Boulder. After discussing the recent lower federal court decisions that based the availability of the Parker exemption upon the existence of general home rule authority under the respective state's constitution, this Recent Development examines the problems posed by the Boulder decision for cities and states contemplating economic regulation tailored to particular local concerns. This Recent Development then analyzes the competing policy interests in the question of a home rule municipality's …
Anticompetitive Practices In Great Britain: Expanded Enforcement Under The Competition Act 1980, Carol B. Swanson
Anticompetitive Practices In Great Britain: Expanded Enforcement Under The Competition Act 1980, Carol B. Swanson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The current antitrust laws are scattered among numerous statutory provisions. The British approach to antitrust laws is expressed in separate attacks on restrictive practices as opposed to broad attacks on monopolies and mergers. Restrictive agreements are controlled through a public registration process and reviewed by a specially-created court. Resale price maintenance is banned through similar procedures. Monopolies and mergers are investigated differently, with entire market sectors referred to a commission especially designed to determine whether a monopoly or merger operates against the public interest. This overall statutory structure is both too narrow, and too broad. It is too limited because …

The Export Trade Exception To The Antitrust Laws: The Old Webb-Pomerene Act And The New Export Trading Company Act, Wilbur L. Fugate
The Export Trade Exception To The Antitrust Laws: The Old Webb-Pomerene Act And The New Export Trading Company Act, Wilbur L. Fugate
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article discusses the history of the Webb Act as a prelude to a discussion of the new legislation. Because the standards in the new Export Act are similar to those in the Webb Act, the precedents under the Webb Act will remain important for interpreting the new legislation. Furthermore, a review of the Webb Act and of the alternatives proposed over the years gives an insight into the reasoning behind having an export exception to the antitrust laws... This Article will examine the Webb Act and its operation; the courts' treatment of the Webb Act; the manifold suggestions and …

Antitrust and American Business Abroad James Atwood and Kingman Brewster 2d ed. New York: McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., 1981. Two-volume text. Pp. 359 and 355.
Reviewed by Joel Davidow
International antitrust is one of the gourmet specialties on the menu of United States law. The combination of competition law, international law, and patent law, spiced with complex diplomatic and trade issues as well as a dash of foreign flavor, is irresistible to the connoisseur. The proof: even though few law schools offer a separate course in international antitrust law and few lawyers deal with the subject regularly, articles, hornbooks, …
Updating The Antitrust Guide On International Operations, Eleanor M. Fox
Updating The Antitrust Guide On International Operations, Eleanor M. Fox
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Since the enactment of the antitrust laws, policy makers, scholars, and business executives have debated whether the United States antitrust laws chill export and investment abroad. The terms of the debate have not changed significantly for more than a decade. The law and the government's enforcement policies, however, have changed. Since the United States Department of Justice issued its Guide on Antitrust and International Operations (Guide) on January 26, 1977, law and enforcement policy have become more hospitable to private business decisions that would increase exports and foreign investment.
This Article attempts to update the Guide. It is confined largely …

Bibliography: The Extraterritorial Application Of United States Antitrust Laws: A Selective Bibliography, Howard A. Hood
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Those who have commented on the Webb-Pomerene Act can be divided into two groups: (1) those who support the Act and would retain it or even expand its scope; and (2) those who oppose the Act and would repeal or weaken it. The first group believes that application of the antitrust laws to the foreign activities of United States companies impairs their ability to compete in the world market. The second group rejects this contention and considers the Webb-Pomerene Act to be unjustifiably inconsistent with the legal framework of free competition...

The Impact Of United States Antitrust Law On The Balance Of Trade, David N. Goldsweig, Kenneth D. Enborg, Thomas F. Walton
The Impact Of United States Antitrust Law On The Balance Of Trade, David N. Goldsweig, Kenneth D. Enborg, Thomas F. Walton
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article explores the underlying propositions that the United States antitrust agencies have created a barrier to the export of United States industrial goods or have impeded their domestic manufacture with respect to this nation's major trading partners. We conclude that neither proposition is well supported by solid evidence, although improved cooperation among Government and business and a less litigious climate are desirable in this area as well as all other industry-government relations." This Article first considers the impact of antitrust enforcement on the export or overseas distribution stage of United States domestic producers and then turns to the effect …

Judicial Analysis Of Predation: The Emerging Trends, James D. Hurwitz, William E. Kovacic
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article examines the recent judicial experience in this endeavor. The purposes of the Article are twofold.The first is to describe the current state of the law regarding predation and to discern significant trends that may be developing. The second purpose is to explore the considerations that courts must weigh in evaluating the legal utility of proposed rules that may be valid as a matter of economic theory. Toward these ends,part II of the Article examines the economic and legal context in which litigants present predation claims. Specifically, this part re-views some of the academic debates that have so greatly …
