My own contribution, The Sound of One Hand Clapping: The 2010 Merger Guidelines and the Challenge of Judicial Adoption, focuses upon the asymmetric economic updating of the Guidelines on the “competitive effects” side of the ledger without corresponding updates with respect to efficiencies analysis.  We explore whether this asymmetric updating might risk the widespread judicial adoption the Guidelines have thus far enjoyed.
