SCOTUScast 10-20-14 featuring Alexander Volokh
On October 14, 2014, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal Trade Commission. The question in this case is whether the state-action exemption from federal antitrust laws applies to a state dental regulatory board when the majority of board members are dental professionals who are elected by other market participants--and thus potential competitors of anyone seeking entry into the dental industry.
To discuss the case, we have Prof. Alexander Volokh, who is an Associate Professor of Law at the Emory University School of Law.
