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.
