Litigation associate Ludovic Ghesquiere, together with Mark
Pletcher of the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division,
published "In Restraint of Trade: The Judicial Law Clerk Hiring
Plan," in the 78th issue of the University of Colorado Law
Review (78 U. Colo. L. Rev. 147.) The article analyzes whether
the plan for hiring clerks agreed to by the majority of U.S.
circuit judges unduly restricts certain aspects of the clerkship
hiring process and amounts to an unreasonable restraint of trade.
It concludes that the plan violates the Sherman Act and goes on to
predict that despite the hiring plan's initial success, free-market
forces will break the cartel.
