Winter Evidence
'98 - Professor Charles Nesson
Microsoft
Antitrust Investigation
Professor
Larry Lessig as Special Master
The Winter Evidence '98
class attempted to put ourselves in the shoes of Mr. William Gates attorneys.
We examined the Microsoft empire in software through its historic rise
and current Antitrust problems. One extremely interesting aspect of the
recent ongoing Justice Department examinations of Microsoft was the recent
appointment, and subsequent suspension, of Harvard Law School Professor
Larry Lessig as "Special Master" to the court reviewing the case. Professor
Lessig is well know among the members of the course and the legal battle
over his appointment was a focus of many hours of class time. Below are
some of the materials we found and generated to share our thoughts with
each other and with you.
