The Antitrust Expediting Act- A Critical Reappraisal, Robert C. Bonges May 1965

The Antitrust Expediting Act- A Critical Reappraisal, Robert C. Bonges

Michigan Law Review

The Expediting Act has been subject to some rather severe criticism from the bench and bar. At the extreme, it has been suggested that the act be repealed and the procedure for appealing government civil antitrust cases be completely overhauled. Even proponents of the act have acknowledged its need of revision, but there is little agreement among them on the extent and nature of desirable change. This comment will explore the origins, development, and current role of the Expediting Act in order to help determine what course revision, if it is needed, should follow.
