This publication offers practical guidance to antitrust class actions. It provides the general analyses involved in determining whether a class can be certified, where the determination of who is appropriately included in the class of those who have been harmed can turn an ordinary claim for damages into a multi-million dollar, bet-the-company litigation, and where, on the other hand, an unsuccessful motion often ends the litigation.

The Revolution in the Law and Economics of Antitrust Class Certification explores why antitrust law is so important in today's economy, why antitrust class action lawsuits are brought, how they are decided, and the legal and economic issues that have changed the way the courts approach them, why and how economic analysis has become an essential part of antitrust law, and how antitrust law has changed as a result of the analyses and evidence that economists have brought to the courtroom.
