Microsoft Lawyer To Lead ABA's Antitrust Section

Posted by timothy on from the takes-one-to-know-one dept.

Dan writes "Wired is reporting that a top lawyer from Microsoft will take over later this year as chairman of the American Bar Association's antitrust section. The panel is organizing opposition to a congressional plan that would require more aggressive oversight by the courts of such antitrust settlements. Considering the next major ruling in MS's case is due soon, you can figure out how important this is to MS."

    No, the case isn't similar. MS is seeking to avoid punishment for a crime of which it is already convicted, whereas Mengle evaded trial through the efforts of the Red Cross.

    So in his case it would merely be repaying a debt already acquired, not to curry future influence.

    You won't find many Jews over a certain age that will give one penney to the Red Cross.
