Section Description

In this externship, students will have the opportunity to learn and experience federal and state antitrust enforcement, and to develop skills in legal research, writing, investigative techniques, and litigation. Students will work with Assistant Attorneys General (AAGs) in the Antitrust Bureau of the NY Attorney General’s Office. The Antitrust Bureau uses its broad enforcement powers on behalf of the People of the State of NY in a variety of areas, including challenging anticompetitive monopolization schemes, cartels, and mergers.

The seminar will meet for two hours each week and will be led by the Antitrust Bureau’s Senior Enforcement Counsel, Bryan Bloom, and Deputy Bureau Chief, Amy McFarlane. Students will study the work of the Antitrust Bureau in detail, discuss and interpret critical federal and state antitrust case law in the context of government enforcement, gain familiarity with various complex antitrust concepts, reflect on fieldwork, and develop skills in legal writing, investigatory techniques, and litigation.

For the fieldwork portion, students are expected to work 15 hours per week. Students will work directly with their assigned Assistant Attorneys General in the Antitrust Bureau, and site supervisors will assist students with obtaining assignments in their areas of interest and balancing their workload.

The course will be limited to 7 students and will be open to JD and LL.M candidates. Unlike the Spring Antitrust Enforcement Externship, this course does not require a pre-requisite. However, students should be prepared for assigned readings in advance of the first day of the course, which will cover the basic antitrust concepts.
