Josh has a nice post at Truth on the Market on the place of antitrust research and practice within the legal academy. “[C]ontrary to the conventional wisdom I hear from the legal academy, it is an incredibly exciting time to practice, think about, and write about antitrust issues. . . .

Truth be told I really didn’t want to study or write about anything else at the time and really wasn’t interested in saying otherwise.
