Chris Sagers, the James A. Thomas Professor of Law, spoke with various media as events continue to swirl around antitrust developments of the past few weeks.

He participated in a “Washington Bytes Chat,” an online exchange hosted by Forbes, concerning the Supreme Court’s decision in Ohio v. American Express. Other participants were Randy Picker of the University of Chicago, Michael Kades of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, and Hal Singer of George Washington University. As Sagers told them, “Listening to Clarence Thomas talk about American Express is like listening to Donald Trump talk about Vladimir Putin.”

Sagers also spoke with several outlets about the latest surprising turn in the Justice Department’s challenge to the merger of AT&T and Time Warner. They included Bloomberg, a separate story for Bloomberg Law, and the subscription journals S&P Global Market Intelligence, CTFN and Communications Daily.

He spoke on certain other matters as well, including with BloombergBNA  about Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of the software collaboration platform GitHub, and the subscription service Law360 about the antitrust philosophy of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Professor and Associate Dean Milena Sterio has been selected as the recipient of the 2018 CSU Faculty Award in the Research category.  Professor Sterio specializes in international law, international criminal law, and human rights.

On July 17, Clinical Professor of Law Doron Kalir presented at Case Western Reserve’s Siegal Lifelong Learning Program. The presentation, entitled “What’s New(s) in Israel,” dealt with three major issues: the current national security concerns in Israel’s Northern and Southern borders; the new Basic Law: Jewish Nationality, and the four pending criminal investigations against Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

The presentation, part of the Eastside Conversation Series, mimics in its format the famed City Club Friday Forum. Thus, after a 30-minute presentation, the floor was opened for a lengthy Q&A session. That was Professor Kalir’s third appearance at the series.
