School of Law success at Antitrust Writing Awards 2021
The Antirust Writing Awards aim to reward writing, scholarship, originality, practical relevance and the contribution that the academic article makes to competition advocacy.
The Antitrust Writing Awards are co-organised annually by Concurrence (which is based in New York) and George Washington University Law School Competition Law Center. They aim to promote competition scholarship and to contribute to competition advocacy.

Professor Whelan was nominated for his work on Director Disqualification Orders within the 'Procedure' category. This is the third time that Professor Whelan has been nominated for an Award.
The winners were announced at a virtual awards ceremony held on 30 June 2021. Dr Brook won for her paper ‘Priority Setting as A Double-Edged Sword: How Modernization Strengthened the Role of Public Policy’.
