Herbert Hovenkamp

University of Pennsylvania Law School

Herbert Hovenkamp is internationally known for his scholarship on antitrust law. Dubbed “the dean of American antitriust law” in a 2011 New York Times article, Dr. Hovenkamp received the 2008 John Sherman Award from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in recognition of his extraordinary contribution “to the protection of American consumers and to the preservation of economic liberty.” His dozen-plus books include the landmark 21-volume treatise, Antitrust Law, which is the most-cited antitrust authority in the country. Federal courts have cited this treatise in the determination of more than 1,000 cases, including more than 50 by the U.S. Supreme Court. Co-authored in 1978, it has been in print for nearly four decades, through four editions and ongoing annual supplements that keep the seminal work up to date. Dr. Hovenkamp is the James G. Dinan University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and American Council of Learned Societies.
