Chillin’Competition has reported that antitrust students at Berkeley, down the road from us (so to speak), have launched a new competition/antitrust law blog. See: Berkeley Global Antitrust Blog
From the Berkeley Antitrust Blog:
“The Berkeley Antitrust Blog is an endeavor of current students of the Berkeley School of Law with many having been practicing antitrust lawyers but all being antitrust enthusiasts. The aim behind the blog is to create a platform for students, experts and professionals to write about the recent developments and ideologies relating to antitrust and competition law.
The blog looks to benefit from the synergies of varied viewpoints from different jurisdictions and offer a truly global perspective on antitrust law, which is crucial today owing to the growing intersection of the markets and economies with many antitrust violations resulting in parallel proceedings in various jurisdictions around the world.
Lastly, the blog hopes to work as a global networking device where students, people pursuing academia and professionals in the field can exchange thoughts, share experiences, get connected with each other.”
We wish them best of luck. For other international competition/antitrust law blogs see: Competition/Antitrust Blogs.

Marrocco J. in The Commissioner of Competition v. Chatr Wireless Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc.:
“After the Commissioner announced that she was proceeding against Rogers Communications Inc. and Chatr Wireless Inc., Wind Mobile issued a press release claiming credit for the Commissioner’s decision to institute proceedings and Mobilicity sent a dance troupe, known as the Mobilicity Magenta Militia dance troupe, to Rogers Communications Inc. headquarters to engage in what might be termed a victory dance or demonstration of joy. A video of a portion of this victory dance or demonstration of joy was embedded in the affidavit of Arnold Abramowitz, filed by the respondents on this application.”

The Antitrust Law Section of the American Bar Association and the International Bar Association (IBA) will be holding their bi-annual International Cartel Workshop in Vancouver from February 1-3, 2012 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
From the American Bar Association:
“The International Cartel Workshop, recognized globally as the premier international cartel program offered anywhere, is presented only once every two years. The next Workshop, which will have many new features, will be held in Vancouver, Canada during February 1-3, 2012. The 2012 program will continue the Workshop’s tradition of instruction by demonstration, with experienced faculty from around the globe taking you inside a hypothetical international cartel matter — from detection by government enforcers to the disposition of government prosecutions and private damage claims. The Workshop will also highlight new developments in the law and leniency practices around the world, with leading enforcers and experienced private practitioners demonstrating how critical decisions are made on both sides of the table and providing examples of important interactions between counsel and enforcers. The 2012 Workshop’s international faculty includes many of the most accomplished cartel attorneys in the world, as well as the most senior cartel enforcement officials from a variety of jurisdictions.”

“Antitrust laws”: Justice Thurgood Marhall, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, United States v. Topco Associates, Inc., 405 U.S. 596, 610 (1972): “Antitrust laws … are the Magna Carta of free enterprise. They are as important to the preservation of economic freedom and our free-enterprise system as the Bill of Rights is to the protection of our fundamental personal freedoms.”
