What’s New
-
A new book on US Attorneys 1801-2023, two remembrances, a new oral history of James Hamilton, a video of our Microsoft program, an invitation to our annual Law Clerk & Judges Reception, and more.
-
When you begin life in a small town in north central South Carolina, even though two of your ancestors were signatories to the Declaration of Independence and one fought side-by-side with George Washington, it might not be obvious you are destined to become thoroughly enmeshed in matters central to Washington, D.C.
-
The video of the Society's June 2023 program on United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34 (D.C. Cir. 2001) is now available on the Society's website and YouTube channel. The Court Appeals’ 2001 opinion was the first federal major appellate court opinion to address application of traditional “old economy” antitrust rules to the new, dynamic, and fast-paced technology markets of the late 20th Century.
-
A review of the Society's program on the Court's 2001 Microsoft Antitrust decision, a recap of the Court's June 9 honor of Judge Sentelle, a call for law clerks, new oral histories, a memoriam, and more in our latest newsletter.
