The U.S. Supreme Court's 2002-2003 term has ended.
Professor Sheldon
Nahmod is available for interviews about key
decisions and themes of this term.
When the Court reconvenes in the fall, it will
hear oral arguments on whether the U.S. Postal Service
can be sued under antitrust laws. In 2000, Flamingo
Industries filed an antitrust suit against the postal
service, alleging that it had created an emergency
mail-sack shortage that allowed it to award no-bid
contracts to foreign manufacturers without allowing
American companies like Flamingo a chance to compete.
Chicago-Kent dean Harold
J. Krent, who represents Flamingo in this
case, is available for interviews.
