Conference on Law and Economic Development in Latin America: A Comparative Approach to Legal Reform

Posted by D. Daniel Sokol

Though not a conference dedicated to antitrust and competition policy, there will be many antitrust experts presenting at Chicago Kent's conference on Law and Economic Development in Latin America:  A Comparative Approach to Legal Reform.  Antitrust speakers include: Bill Kovacic, Eduardo Perez Motta, David Gerber, D. Daniel Sokol, Shyam Khemani, Antonio Vives, Ana Maria Alvarez, and Ignacio de Leon.  I will present a paper entitled " Why is this Chapter Different From All the Others? An Examination of Why Countries Enter Into Non-enforceable Competition Policy Chapters in Free Trade Agreements Versus Other Alternatives."  Conference papers will appear in the first issue of the 2008 Chicago Kent Law Review.
