General practitioner's introduction to antitrust law and practice

Antitrust practice is considered by many general practitioners to be arcane, complex and mysterious. It is a jargon-ridden world, with rapid developments expanding an evermore complex vocabulary to describe new business practices brought within the ebb and flow of antitrust litigation. Most general practitioners are far too busy with the daily volume of business to expend effort on the rigorous and time-consuming task of self-education in the field or of keeping abreast of the latest developments. Consequently, many lawyers have little knowledge of antitrust law and a great reluctance to become involved.
