C-SPAN provided full day coverage of “The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) After Trump v. Slaughter” symposium at GW Law on August 3.
GW Law’s Competition Law Center partnered with the American Antitrust Institute to host the symposium, which examined how the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Trump v. Slaughter case impacts the future of the FTC.
GW Law Professor William Kovacic, the global competition professor of law and policy and director of the Competition Law Center, spoke on a panel about the future of FTC enforcement. He was joined by antitrust experts from other universities and law schools and government institutions. The symposium also brought leaders in antitrust and competition law, including Jon Leibowitz, former chairman of the FTC.
“The symposium identified a number of useful steps the FTC can take on its own to preserve its effectiveness, and the participants also suggested reforms that Congress can adopt to preserve the benefits of decision making by a bipartisan multimember commission,” Professor Kovacic said.
The symposium is one of many events focused on finance law hosted by the Competition Law Center and the Business and Finance Law Program.
Earlier this summer, the Business and Finance Law Program partnered with the Center for Law and Technology: The Bernard Center to host a symposium with the Global Blockchain Business Council. And a conference on prediction markets featuring David Miller, enforcement chief of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, hosted by the Business and Finance Law Program this spring was featured in the Wall Street Journal.
