Case Law

Many resources provide access to case law on antitrust.  Online databases are generally the most current.

 

Statutes

There are three principal statutes dealing with antitrust laws at the federal level. They are the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act. All three have been codified in Title 15 of the United States Code.  For information about versions of the U.S. Code and conducting statutory research generally, please see our Statutes Research Guide.

While most of U.S. antitrust law is federal, there are significant elements covered by state law. Researchers should consult the statutory codes of individual jurisdictions; please see the relevant state state law research guides on our research guides page for the sources and organization of state law.

 

Regulations

Federal administrative regulations concerning antitrust laws can be found in several titles of the Code of Federal Regulations. While many of these regulations appear in Title 15: Commerce and Foreign Trade, a comprehensive review of antitrust rules requires consulting multiple titles. For information on the Code of Federal Regulations and administrative law research generally, please see our Administrative Law Research Guide.

Organization of state regulations varies by state. Researchers should consult the regulatory codes of individual jurisdictions; please see the relevant state state law research guides on our research guides page for the sources and organization of state law.
