Standing Committees
The Antitrust and Unfair Competition Law Section has four standing committees dedicated to the Section’s mission, which is to further the knowledge of its members about antitrust, unfair competition, and trade regulation issues under California and federal laws. These committees are charged with developing publications, programs, and events in furtherance of the Section’s mission. They also are responsible for developing and bringing greater diversity to the next generation of California antitrust and unfair competition practitioners.Â

Treatise Committee
Chair: Belinda Lee
Executive Editor: Shira Liu
The Treatise Committee publishes yearly updates of the California State Antitrust and Unfair Competition Law treatise. This master treatise comprehensively documents and describes this area of law, which presents a broad and rich palette for practitioners and regulators. Each year, seasoned practitioners of differing perspectives are engaged to update new developments in this area of law. A team of peer reviewers also drawn from the ranks of California’s leading practitioners are tasked with the review and updating of the annual updates. This treatise is published in a hard copy loose-leaf binder by Matthew Bender (LexisNexis) and online by both Matthew Bender and Westlaw.
