>> Serious question: what is the "antitrust community"?

Members:

- lawyers who work in the agencies on antitrust

- lawyers who work in competition practices of major law firms

- lawyers who work as competition counsel in-house at large firms

- legal scholars (in law schools) who write on these issues

- economists who work in the same agencies (FTC and DoJ)

- economists who work in the litigation consulting industry

- economists who work in academia on antitrust and competition issues (anyone in an economics department who lists “industrial organization” as a research field).

Plus our various groupies and hangers-on, who are numerous, because our parties are amazing…
