Dear Readers,

In this Chronicle we feature contributions from the offices of State Attorneys General from across the U.S.

The Attorneys General of the 50 States and the District of Columbia play a vital – and occasionally overlooked – role in the enforcement of both Federal and State antitrust laws.

Recently, State Attorneys General have been proving that they are a force to be reckoned with, and are increasingly addressing antitrust issues both of State, national (and, increasingly, international) concern. The last year has seen multiple antitrust initiatives by State Attorneys General, individually, in concert with each other, and in collaboration with the U.S. federal authorities.

The pieces in this Chronicle address this multi-pronged approach, featuring contributions from numerous prominent officials in the offices of Attorneys General nationwide.

Lastly, please take the opportunity to visit the CPI website to watch CPI TV — our selection of exclusive video content, featuring interviews, roundtables, and fireside chats with such esteemed interlocutors as Joseph Stiglitz, UK CMA Chair Jonathan Scott, Greek HCC President Ioannis Lianos, and many others. This is a convenient way for you, our readers, to keep up with cutting edge debate from the comfort of your homes.

As ever, thank you to our great panel of authors.

CPI Team
