Examples & Explanations

A favorite classroom prep tool of successful students that is often recommended by professors, the Examples & Explanations (E&E) series provides an alternative perspective to help you understand your casebook and in-class lectures. Each E&E offers hypothetical questions complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topics in your courses and compare your own analysis.

Here's why you need an E&E to help you study throughout the semester:

• Clear explanations of each class topic, in a conversational, funny style.
• Features hypotheticals similar to those presented in class, with corresponding analysis so you can use them during the semester to test your understanding, and again at exam time to help you review.
• It offers coverage that works with ALL the major casebooks and suits any class on a given topic.

The Examples & Explanations series has been ranked the most popular study aid among law students because it is equally as helpful from the first day of class through the final exam.

New to the Fourth Edition:

• Coverage of the latest Supreme Court developments, including the epochal sports-athlete decision in NCAA v. Alston and its rule-of-reason codification, and the lingering effects of Ohio v. American Express on two-sided markets and BigTech.
• Analysis of major developments in merger administration during the Biden administration, including a full discussion of the 2023 Merger Guidelines and the remarkable return to vertical merger enforcement after a 40-year hiatus.
• Discussions of lower-court developments in monopolization law, including potential revitalization of theories of liability long-dormant under restrictive Supreme Court interpretations, like pricing strategy cases and refusals-to-deal.
• Incorporation of the major BigTech challenges that have dominated attention since the Third Edition, including both Google cases, United States v. Apple, and FTC v. Amazon.
• Unbiased consideration of the real-world consequences of antitrust politics, so far as they affect student access to the doctrinal law, including progressive and conservative reform action, the effect of so-called "populist" antitrust, and the "consumer welfare" debate.
