Remembering Justice John Paul Stevens: The Tipline for 17 July 2019
Retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens died yesterday at the age of 99. Stevens was a founding member of the Chicago law firm Rothschild Stevens Barry & Myers, where he focused on antitrust law. He also taught antitrust at the University of Chicago Law School, was a member of the Attorney General’s National Committee to Study Antitrust Law and served on the House of Representatives antitrust subcommittee as it investigated industries such as professional baseball.

Both rulings held that the sports organisations fell under the jurisdiction of the Sherman Act.
