				  <p class="paragraphBody" style="margin-top: 0;"><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C. - </strong>In recognition of his &quot;outstanding and substantial contributions to the field of antitrust law, the protection of American consumers and the preservation of economic liberty,&quot; Georgetown University Law Center Professor <a href="../../faculty/facinfo/tab_faculty.cfm?Status=FullTime&ID=307">Robert Pitofsky</a> was presented the Department of Justice Antitrust Division&rsquo;s highest honor, the Sherman Award, by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.&nbsp; A ceremony took place in Washington on April 20. </p>
				  <p class="paragraphBody">Pitofsky is the Sheehy Professor of Antitrust Law and Trade Regulation at Georgetown Law, where he served as dean from 1983 to 1989. He is also counsel in the Washington office of Arnold &amp; Porter LLP. Pitofsky has enjoyed a distinguished career in government and is widely known for his work in the antitrust field. He was chairman of the Federal Trade Commission from 1995 to 2001, a commissioner of the FTC from 1978 to 1981 and director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection from 1970 to 1973. In 2002, the FTC presented him the Miles W. Kirkpatrick Award for his distinguished service. </p>
<p class="paragraphBody">Pitofsky has taught courses in antitrust, consumer protection, federal courts and constitutional law at the Law Center. He has also been a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and a professor at New York University School of Law. Pitofsky is co-author of <em>Cases and Materials on Antitrust</em>, and his recent writings include &quot;New Definitions of Relevant Market and the Assault on Antitrust&quot; and &quot;Proposals for Revised Merger Enforcement in a Global Economy.&quot; He is a graduate of New York University and Columbia Law School. </p>
				  <p class="paragraphBody">The Sherman Award is named for John Sherman, author of the nation&rsquo;s first antitrust law, which became known as the Sherman Act of 1890. Sherman served as a congressman and a senator, as well as Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State. Established in 1994, the award has been presented seven times. Past recipients include Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) and Judge Robert H. Bork.<br>
