Superior Court Trial Lawyers Association | 493 U.S. 411 (1990) A boycott is a classic tool for compelling offending businesses to accede to boycotters’ demands. But do they violate antitrust laws? The United States Supreme Court considered that question in Federal Trade Commission versus Superior Court Trial Lawyers Association. The District of Columbia appointed private lawyers to represent most indigent criminal defendants. Over twelve hundred lawyers registered to receive appointments, but a core group of about one hundred lawyers working primarily as indigent criminal counsel received most of the appointments. But the district paid these appointed lawyers strikingly low fees. The Superior Court Trial Lawyers Association, other bar groups, and other interested parties wanted to persuade the district to enact higher fees. Finally, the association and the primary indigent defense lawyers formed a strike committee, which agreed to stop accepting new indigent defense assignments until the district approved a substantial fee increase. The committee also worked to publicize the issue, and the press reported on the controversy and the strike. Without lawyers for indigent defendants, the district’s criminal justice system quickly faced collapse. Two weeks later, the district city council adopted a fee increase and the boycott ended. The Federal Trade Commission alleged that the association and its officers violated the Sherman Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. After a hearing, the commission’s administrative law judge found that the boycott had violated the Trade Commission Act but recommended that the complaint against the association be dismissed because city officials had recognized the boycott’s beneficial effects. However, the commission determined the boycott violated the act and entered a cease-and-desist order prohibiting the lawyers from boycotting just because they didn’t agree with the city’s legislative process. The D.C. Circuit vacated the commission’s order, and the Supreme Court granted the commission’s cert petition. Want more details on this case?
