The Antitrust Education Foundation is a response by legal scholars, thinkers and practitioners to the recent deterioration in American antitrust theory and application.
The Foundation teaches a new generation of Americans about the success of the centerpiece antitrust concept, the Consumer Welfare Standard. We use debate to challenge legal thinkers and practitioners to respond to the prevailing standard’s diagnosis of the weaknesses and dangers lurking in their theories.
To advance this mission, we produce videos, blogs, infographics, and opinion-editorials, and sponsor discussions and debates on a standard that, up until now, has governed antitrust law. We engage law schools, legal forums and judicial organizations. We welcome debate and aggressively seek out opposing views.

State Attorneys General ProjectAntitrust litigation is not just the province of the federal government. State Attorneys General throughout the country have become major players acting independently and in concert with the federal government. The Project scrutinizes their activity and offer legal and economic analysis both in papers and in public commentary.
With this mind, the Project is assembling an Advisory Board of former state attorneys general and are planning a series of lectures, op-eds, and multimedia interviews. |

Amicus BriefsThe Project files amicus briefs in important antitrust and constitutional cases, defending the consumer welfare standard and the First Amendment.

Lectures at law schools and collegesWorking with the Federalist Society, the Project sponsors lectures and debates at law schools and colleges on antitrust. We work to organize media coverage, video recording and transcription. The record of these events will be used in our education and advocacy outreach.

Collaboration with Other OrganizationsThe Project eagerly collaborates with like-minded organizations. For example, we joined the Alliance on Antitrust. We are engaging with NetChoice, the Heritage Project’s Meese Center, the Washington Legal Foundation, the Scalia Law School Center for Law and Economics, and others to produce original programming.
