Chicago-Kent Dean Harold
J. Krent will argue a case before the U.S. Supreme
Court December 1. Dean Krent represents Flamingo
Industries in a case that will determine 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. Dean Krent is available for interviews
about the case.
