In the late twentieth century, economic efficiency emerged as a principle goal of antitrust law, gradually overtaking other goals such as consumer protection and concepts of fairness in competition. Economics has come to pervade virtually all aspects of antitrust cases, finding its way into every procedural step as well as substantive issues. The Sedona Conference^® Working Group 3 was formed out of a desire to bring clarity and uniformity to the use, and reliance upon, economics in the litigation of antitrust claims. The Working Group, consisting of judges, attorneys, and academics, began meeting in May of 2004 and grappled with a number of issues, including the application of the federal rules of evidence and civil procedure to economic expert analysis and testimony, the appropriate role of economic evidence at different stages of antitrust litigation, and the role of economics in substantive issues such as concerted action, harm to competition, and market definition. In February of 2006 the Working Group published a detailed Commentary with more than 50 principles under eight chapter headings. In this Webinar, Daniel R. Shulman, the Editor-in-Chief of the Commentary, will be joined by three members of the Working Group to provide an overview of their work and to answer your questions.
