The Temple of Leniency

Abstract

This short article mourns the loss of Laura Guttuso, celebrates her contributions and accomplishments as a scholar, and comments on one of her final publications which appeared as a chapter in a fascinating book entitled Anti-Cartel Enforcement in a Contemporary Age: Leniency Religion (‘Leniency Religion’).  In this article, I discuss many of the general themes presented in the book as a whole and then turn to the specifics of Laura’s chapter on the role of leniency and the intersection of private and public enforcement of competition law.
