100 Iowa L. Rev. Bull. 1 (2014-2015)

handle is hein.journals/iowalrb6 and id is 1 raw text is: Connecting the Antitrust Dots: In Praise of Herb Hovenkamp Bill Baer* Thanks for inviting me to this Symposium celebrating the 100th volume of the Iowa Law Review and honoring the contributions of Professor Herbert Hovenkamp. In January 1915, in the inaugural issue of the Law Review (then the Iowa Law Bulletin), the editors proposed to focus almost exclusively on the law of this great state, concluding that the important developments outside of Iowa were adequately covered by other publications. To the editors: we are all fortunate that you expanded your vision. Over the ensuing century the Law Review has grown to become national in scope, reputation and leadership. In 1933, for example, it pioneered the legal symposium format, featuring contributions on administrative law from Felix Frankfurter and John Henry Wigmore.1 I salute the current Law Review staff and the many talented lawyers who preceded you. Likewise, Professor Hovenkamp's influence extends far beyond this law school and the state of Iowa. Herb, your contributions here in Iowa City are themselves noteworthy-recipient of the University of Iowa Outstanding Teachers Award, and teacher and mentor to so many of the College of Law's graduates, including some who have served with distinction at the Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission. At the same time, Herb has been educating and informing the nation's broader antitrust community-including lawyers, businesses, enforcers, and judges. And that is my focus this evening. Part observer, part interpreter, and part advocate, Herb has helped steer the evolution of our country's competition policies. He is the senior author of Antitrust Law: An Analysis of Antitrust Principles and Their Application-the leading antitrust law treatise. Often described as anchoring the mainstream of antitrust theology, Professor Hovenkamp's contributions are equally respected by those who identify with the scholarship of Cambridge, New York, and Chicago. Herb, your unique standing is evidenced by the distinguished academics, * Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department ofJustice. 1. See Willard L. Boyd & Randall P.
