Peggy Radin, Mentor Extraordinaire, R. Anthony Reese

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

I write to celebrate Peggy Radin’s contributions to the legal academy in her role as a mentor. I know that others will speak to her significant scholarly achievements and important contributions across several fields.

I was extremely fortunate to have had a handful of mentors who helped me become a law professor. (I am also extremely fortunate that some of those mentors became generous senior colleagues who occasionally continue to help me navigate …


Is It Time To Give Up On Antitrust Law For Pro Sports?, Geoffrey Rapp Sep 2015

Is It Time To Give Up On Antitrust Law For Pro Sports?, Geoffrey Rapp

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

Professor Nathaniel Grow has produced a creative, thoroughly researched piece arguing that antitrust has failed in the context of professional sports and calling for the creation of a national-level federal regulatory agency to address anticompetitive conduct by the major leagues.

Territorial And Customer Restrictions In Franchise Agreements Under The Antitrust Laws, Donald M. Jenkins Aug 2015

Territorial And Customer Restrictions In Franchise Agreements Under The Antitrust Laws, Donald M. Jenkins

Akron Law Review

The growth of franchising as a marketing vehicle in the past decade has been apparent to the American consumer. Several factors have contributed to this growth. This kind of distribution system can be achieved with less capital outlay and in a shorter time span than most other distribution systems require. Some products and services gain greater consumer acceptance if they stand alone in the market place than when they are co-mingled with other products. Wholesalers in certain product lines, such as food and drugs, have found it necessary to form voluntary chains based upon franchise agreements to meet the competition …


Antitrust Common Law: Restrictive Covenants And Reasonableness, Thomas J. Collin Jul 2015

Antitrust Common Law: Restrictive Covenants And Reasonableness, Thomas J. Collin

Akron Law Review

This article will review the ancillary restraint doctrine in Ohio. It will do so by focusing on the three settings in which restrictive covenants are commonly, and most frequently, used and from which the vast majority of the case law has emerged: (1) the sale of a business; (2) leasing; and (3) employment. As the following discussion will show, analysis of ancillary restraints should be uniform even though the subjects of restrictive covenants may differ.

Capturing The Transplant: U.S. Antitrust Law In The European Union, Silvia Beltrametti Jan 2015

Capturing The Transplant: U.S. Antitrust Law In The European Union, Silvia Beltrametti

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The scholarly literature on the movement of legal norms focuses almost exclusively on transfers from one jurisdiction to another. It largely ignores transfers into new regulatory regimes. Drawing on a case study of the transplantation of U.S. antitrust law into the nascent entity that was to become the European Community, and analyzing its evolution from a public choice perspective, this Article suggests that transfers into new regulatory regimes are more likely to be effective when the lack of established institutions creates opportunities for stakeholders. The endorsement of a new law will enable stakeholders to influence its application and to capture …
