United States Postal Service v. Flamingo Industries Ltd.
Flamingo Industries, a manufacturer of mail-sacks, filed
a suit in 2000 against the United States Postal Service. Flamingo alleged
that the post office had created an emergency mail-sack shortage that
allowed it to award no-bid contracts to foreing manufacturers without
allowing American companies like Flamingo a chance to compete, all in
violation of federal antitrust laws. Chicago-Kent's Dean Harold J. Krent
represented Flamingo Industries in its petition for writ of certiorari
to the United States Supreme Court and argued the case before the Supreme
Court. Honors Scholar Karen Doran helped Dean Krent in the preparation
of the briefs filed on behalf of Flamingo.
