handle is hein.journals/antitrust4 and id is 1 raw text is: Aintmust® The Section of Antitrust Law Volume 4 American Bar Association Number 1 1155 East 60th Street Fall 1982 . Chicago, IL 60637 Antitrust Section Meets at ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco San Francisco was the site of the 1982 ABA Annual Meeting. The An- titrust Section met on August 9 to 11 in conjunction with the ABA Annual Meeting. In addition to the meetings held by the individual Committees, the Section hosted a number of distinguished speakers and programs. Justice White Speaks The Section was privileged to hear the remarks of Supreme Court Associate Justice Byron R. White at the annual luncheon held on August 10. Picking up the theme that has been sounded by other Supreme Court Justices in recent speeches, Justice White addressed the burdens faced by the Supreme Court in handl- ing an increasing docket. The Justice called the Section's attention to a number of proposals which had been tabled as possible remedies for the Court's congested calendar. Interestingly, Justice White com- mented upon a recent suggestion that the Court be relieved of the need to process petitions for writs of certiorari by the creation of a new court whose sole function would be to grant or deny petitions for Supreme Court review. Justice White expressed the view that this proposal would have lit- tle impact upon the Court's workload, noting that he himself gives con- siderable attention to the certiorari docket and does not find the certiorari review process to be overly timecon- suming. It will be remembered that Justice John Paul Stevens recently remarked to the American Judicature Society that he finds time only to review a small percentage of the cer- tiorari petitions presented to the Court. Judicial View of Antitrust Litigation As John W. Davis once remarked, there is no better instructor for an aspiring fisherman than the fish himself. In keeping with this precept, the Section was pleased to sponsor a program entitled Judicial Views: Controlling the Antitrust Case, on August 10. A packed house heard four judges express their views about discovery, pretrial, and trial problems in antitrust cases. The panelists in- cluded: the Honorable Patrick E. Higginbotham, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; the Honorable Edward R. Becker, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit; the Honorable William W. Schwarzer, United States District Judge, Northern District of California; and the Honorable John F. Grady, United States District Judge, Northern District of Illinois. Although the judges reflected their own different approaches to antitrust litigation, their views were uniformly enlightening. Their observations will be recorded in a forthcoming volume of the Antitrust Law Journal. 1982 Merger Guidelines OnJune 14, 1982, the United States Department of Justice published its Continued on page 4 In This Issue: A Report on the Section's Annual Meeting ............. 1 A Report on the Section's Post-Annual Council M eeting ................... 2 Results of Section Election ................... 2 Chairman Appoints Council/ Committee Liaisons .......... 2 FTC Committee Program on Changes at FTC under New Administration ............. 4 Section Calendar November 16, 1982 One-day program entitled The Federal Trade Commission- The New Administration After One Year The Shoreham Hotel Washington, D.C.
