"Having served as a member of the panel bestowing the 2014 Concurrences Awards for excellence in antitrust writing, I was very pleased to find the submissions ranged from the merely good to the truly outstanding. These awards have surely made antitrust academics and practitioners more alert to the value of writing well, with attention not only to substantive analysis but also to clarity and economy of presentation. Our field is blessed with an erudite academy and an intellectually sophisticated bar; the Concurrences Awards bring out the best in both.”
