Mark Lemley (BA ’88), William H. Neukom Professor of Law and director of the Program in Law, Science & Technology, received the 24th Annual Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to antitrust scholarship. Lemley shares the award with Lane Miles, JD ’25, and Rory Van Loo of the Wharton School for their article “Anticompetitive Directors,” published in the Columbia Law Review. The article identifies thousands of instances of individuals serving on the boards of competing companies and argues that interlocking boards pose a larger antitrust problem than previously understood. The award was presented at the American Antitrust Institute’s 27th Annual Policy Conference in June at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. SL
