Thank you Glenn Lammi, Chief Counsel, Legal Studies Division at the Washington Legal Foundation—and your WLF colleagues, including Rich Samp and Cory Andrews—for inviting me to moderate the June 19 briefing on How Free Enterprise Fared during the U.S. Supreme Court’s October 2018 Term. I began by identifying the wide variety of subjects addressed this Term which affect business & industry. It then was my privilege to call upon a distinguished panel of Supreme Court advocates—Carter Phillips, Nicole Saharsky, and Allyson Ho—who provided their insights on the current Court and reflections of this Term’s free enterprise cases, encompassing the areas of government regulation & administrative law, intellectual property, and litigation & dispute resolution.
