AND RECOGNIZING ANTITRUST ACTIONS by JOYCE M. THOMAS Administrator, Continuing Legal Education, Washington State Bar Association Two series of continuing legal education programs will be presented this Spring under the joint sponsorship of the Washington State Bar Association and the University of Washington School of Law. Paul C. Gibbs, chairman of the Washington State Bar Association's Continuing Legal Education Committee, announces that both programs will be presented in Olympia, Seattle, Spokane, and Yakima. A one-day conference on Sales Transactions Under the Uniform Commercial Code in Washington will be held on Saturdays on the following schedule: Yakima, March 2. 1968; Seattle, March 23; Spo- kane, April 20; Olympia, May 18. The sales provisions of Article 2 of the U.C.C. will be explored, with emphasis upon the drafting and formation of sales contracts under the U.C.C., remedies, and prod- ucts liability. One lecture will be devoted to bulk transfers under Article 6 of the U.C.C. The im- pact of the 1967 amendments to the Washington Retail Installment Sales Act will also be considered. Speakers at the Sales conference will be: James M. Hilton, Seattle; Hans C. H. Jensen, Seattle; Mor- ris G. Shore, Yakima; Lawrence R. Small, Spokane, all practicing attorneys, and Professor Richard Cosway of the University of Wash- ington Law School. Printed course materials for the Sales conference will be similar in format to those prepared for the C.L.E. program last Spring on Article 9 of the U.C.C. The second series of programs will highlight the rapidly-develop- ing field of law evolving around private causes of action arising from violations of the antitrust laws. A one-day conference on Recognizing Treble-Damage An- titrust Actions will be presented on April 5, 1968, in Olympia; April 26, in Yakima; May 11, in Se- attle; and May 17, in Spokane. The C.L.E. committee stresses that this will be a program for general practitioners. The exist- ence of the private antitrust ac- tion has become an important fac- tor in today's economy. Recent years have seen a significant in- crease in the number of suits seek- ing damages for injury to private business or property caused by violations of the antitrust laws. An increasing number of these actions have involved violations affecting local commerce and small businesses, the committee points out. The plaintiff is likely to be, not a large national corporation, but, for example, the proprietor of a local bowling alley, a local dairy owner, a local theatre owner, a gas station operator, or automobile dealer. The treble-damage feature of the federal cause of action was de- signed to make the private suit an important weapon of enforcement of the antitrust laws. Lawyers must become increasingly conscious of the private antitrust action if they are to give sound advice to their business clients and safeguard their business interests. Speakers at the antitrust confer- ence will be practitioners Charles S. Burdell, Seattle; William L. Dwyer, Seattle; John E. Heath, Jr., Spokane; Fredric C. Tausend, Seattle; and Professor Luvern V. Rieke and Professor Roy Proster- man of the law school faculty. Brochures announcing details of the C.L.E. programs will be mailed to all members of the Bar and judges in the near future. Pre- registration for the programs will, as usual, be strongly recommend- ed, though not absolutely essential. PAGE 1 CEREMONY INSTALLS WALTER T.
