I am struck by the novelty of the topics and depth of the thinking. It is extremely important not only to reflect on the constant development in an area but also to push the boundaries and to question conventional wisdom if we must. It is extremely valuable to see the writing reflect not just the most up to date positions but also on the “what ifs” and the “alternative scenarios” of any situation because tomorrow may be different.

The Antitrust Writing Awards mark and celebrate the vibrancy of the international antitrust community. They promote shared discourse and learning and help to foster excellence in research and writing by academics, practitioners and competition authorities. Judging the award submissions is a pleasurably invidious task given their consistently high calibre. I congratulate the steering committee, Concurrences and the George Washington Centre on this ongoing initiative.

This is a wonderful event that celebrates divers and important writing about a wide range of competition law matters and in that way increases the influence of thoughtful scholarship on the development of competition law in the U.S. and elsewhere. My work on the editorial committee has given me access to many articles that I would not otherwise have read and from which I have learned a great deal.
