On November 8, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of Devenpeck v. Alford, which examines the question of whether the police can arrest you on one ground, which later proves invalid, but "rehabilitate" the arrest on some other ground that they learn about after they have you custody. Known as the closely related offsense doctrine, it has many civil libertarians concerned.

Many people in the antitrust bar, academia and the business community question whether DOJ's Antitrust Division has struck the right balance between underenforcement and overenforcement in recent years. President-elect Barack Obama has said that he intends to "reinvigorate antitrust enforcement" and "step up review of merger activity," so that is certainly likely to be an area of change, especially at DOJ. The FTC has been more active in merger enforcement, so change at the FTC in that area is less likely.

Since 1974, the Tunney Act has required the federal courts to review each consent decree in civil antitrust cases filed by the DOJ to ensure that the remedy proposed in the consent is in the public interest. In response to the perception that judicial review was often merely a "rubber stamp," Congress amended the Tunney Act in 2004. Now these amendments are being put to the test as a U.S. district court reviews the DOJ's consent decrees in two of the largest telecommunications mergers of the last decade.

Severely restricting the ability to dismiss frivolous claims may force respondents into early settlement and mediation — a more cost-effective alternative to arbitration. However, the restriction forces those respondents desiring a decision on the merits — either through dismissal or award after a hearing — to waste time and resources defending frivolous claims.
