Um, the speaker, uh, reading from his, um-ah, script...um...eh, doesn't read, um, so well. And, um-eh-ah, for some reason, um, Law School--uh--Legends, uh, Cds, don't, uh, have tracks, so--um--you don't know, uh, where anything, ah, is, uh, on the CDs. The, uh, discussion of the, um, law, is, uh, OK. Recording--uh, um, uh--is good, uh, there is no, uh, static, or, um, noise.I have made a "track list" for anyone who buys this:CD 10:00 Sherman Act5:33 Goals of antitrust: competition and policy12:06 Populist View vs. Chicago School15:18 Violations of Sherman Act22:00 Illegal Monopolization25:00 Proving Monopoly Power49:55 Barriers to EntryCD 20:00 2nd Element of Grinnnel: Anti Competitive Power8:06 Case Law on Anti-competitive Monopoly ConductCD 30:00 Aspen cont.6:45 Predatory Pricing18:56 Essential Facilities Doctrine29:01 MicrosoftCD 40:00 Microsoft cont.11:58 Attempted Monopolization19:14 Conspiracy to Monopolize21:01 Sherman Act § 123:53 What is an agreement30:54 Proving Agreement40:24 Boycotts44:51 Per Se and Rule of Reason47:16 Quick Look49:00 Horizontal Territorial AgreementCD 50:00 Horizontal Price Fixing12:40 Proof of Horizontal Agreement20:46 Testing the Agreement: Per Se and Rule of Reason25:09 Proof of Vertical Agreement33:23 What is Horizontal Price Fixing?46:45 Vertical AgreementsCD 60:00 Vertical Agreements cont.4:51 Exclusive Dealing and Tying12:21 Tying21:00 Standing for Section 128:14 Merger53:56 Robinson Patman Act

So, I find that listening to CDs before an exam is really helpful. These CDs were very helpful before my antitrust exam. Especially when it comes to monopolization, the author is very detailed. His analysis of the Microsoft case was very helpful, because it essentially provides a general overview of monopolization under section 2. His discussion of horizontal restraints is rather murky, but so is the law under section 1. I'm not sure I can hold it against the author, because the courts are really random when it comes to applying the per se rule, the RoR, and the QL rule. It's a big mess, but he goes through the cases very carefully. Essentially, these CDs noted every case that my antitrust class discussed and that was a nice warm blanket before the exam.

I usually like listening to these cds before exams. It is really annoying that they don't have tracks.However, I felt that his content might need to be updated a little. That's why I gave it 3 stars.

Professor Leslie's lectures cover the material well, and his voice is quite enthusiastic and easy to listen to. But his habit of saying um and uh over and over again, sometimes multiple times in a single sentence, is very distracting. Some of the CDs are much worse than others.Also, as is typical of Law School Legends CDs, they don't divide each CD into multiple tracks - one track per CD. So, if you want to go back and listen to the most recent short segment again, you must hold down the reverse button, if your player allows this, or go back to the beginning of the entire hour-long lecture.There are only 6 CDs of lecture to cover all of antitrust law. The lectures could do a more comprehensive coverage of the material.I prefer Sum and Substance CDs over Law School Legends. In general, Sum and Substance CDs have better professors for the lectures and more CDs per set than Law School Legends. Also, Sum and Substance CDs divide each CD into multiple tracks.Law School Legends CDs are legendarily poor.
