News Sources

Federal Trade Commission
The FTC website includes comprehensive guides on the relevant law, the agencies' policies, and enforcement actions, as well as antitrust news updates and blog posts.

  • The Antitrust Laws:  Explains the history of federal enforcement of business competitiveness, the federal antitrust statutes, and the development of state statutes based on the federal statutes.
  • Competition Guidance:  Provides basic background on antitrust laws as well as guidance on mergers and other potentially anticompetitive activity to businesses, lawyers, and consumers.
  • Annual Competition Reports:  The FTC provides yearly reports on enforcement actions brought under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, which allows the FTC and the DOJ "the opportunity to obtain effective preliminary relief against anticompetitive mergers and to prevent interim harm to competition and consumers."

U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division
The DOJ Antitrust Division website provides information about the federal role in antitrust enforcement and access to newly issued antitrust enforcement documents such as complaints, orders, certificates of compliance, and final judgments. The Department of Justice also publishes an Antitrust Division Manual that operates as a guide for Antitrust Division employees and antitrust practitioners on the Division's procedures and practices.
