Swope Antitrust Prize

Law Student Wins Jones Day's 1st Annual Swope Antitrust Prize

WASHINGTON, March 28 -- A Berkeley law student won the first annual William
E. Swope Antitrust Prize for a paper arguing that social norms can violate
the Sherman Act.

The $10,000 writing prize, which commemorates the former Jones Day partner
and his pioneering fact-intensive approach to antitrust analysis, was
awarded at ceremonies in the firm's Washington office to Dean Harvey, a
third-year student at the Boalt Hall School of Law of the University of
California at Berkeley. Receiving $1,500 honorable mention prizes were Casey
W. Halladay, who was awarded an LL.M. by Harvard Law School last year, and
Joshua D. Wright, an assistant professor at George Mason University Law
School. The winners will also attend the Spring Meeting of the American Bar
Association's Antitrust Section as guests of Jones Day.

"At a time when antitrust enforcement clung to rigid rules, tests, and
theories, Bill Swope focused on facts and how they explained how specific
markets worked in the real world," said Phil Proger, the head of Jones Day's
global antitrust practice. "For raising some interesting new approaches to
antitrust analysis, we are pleased to recognize Dean Harvey's work in this
tradition."

Only law students and recent graduates are eligible for the annual
competition. The deadline for submissions for next year's prize is December
31. Complete rules are available at jonesday.com/antitrust_competition_law/.
