Antitrust Division Manual

The Antitrust Division Manual is a guide used by the U.S. Department of Justice to enforce antitrust laws, which are designed to promote competition and prevent monopolies. It outlines procedures, enforcement priorities, and legal standards for investigating and prosecuting businesses that engage in anti-competitive practices, like price-fixing or market allocation. The manual ensures that enforcement actions are consistent and fair while protecting consumer choices and maintaining a healthy economy. Ultimately, its goal is to foster an open marketplace where businesses can compete fairly, benefiting consumers through better prices and services.
