The University of Baltimore Law Review has honored AAI Co-Founder and Director Robert Lande by publishing a Festschrift issue consisting of papers presented at “The Quest for Progressive Antitrust: A Symposium Honoring Professor Robert H. Lande.”
The Editor’s Note to Volume 53, Issue 1 of the University of Baltimore Law Review states:
Venable Professor of Law Emeritus Robert H. Lande is an esteemed antitrust scholar and a beloved teacher and colleague at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Professor Lande was also the co-founder of the American Antitrust Institute, a past Chair of the Association of American Law Schools Antitrust Section, an award-winning scholar, and a leading intellectual force behind the 21st century’s reinvigorated antitrust movement. Professor Lande is a key architect of the consumer choice approach to antitrust law, which seeks to reorient antitrust away from the efficiency orientation associated with the Chicago School and toward the protection of consumers.
Published on April 19, 2024, the symposium issue includes contributions from AAI President Randy Stutz, Founder Albert Foer, Board Member Joshua Davis, Advisory Board Members Neil Averitt, Peter Carstensen, John Kirkwood, John Kwoka, Stephen Ross and Steven Salop, and Professor Lande himself.
“The University of Baltimore’s Festschrift issue is a fitting tribute to an incredible scholar and an even better person,” said AAI President Randy Stutz. “Bob has left an indelible mark not only on AAI, but on antitrust law itself.”
