The Federalist Society Presents a Program on Business Law in Mexico
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As Mexico continues to emerge as an important economy on the international front, how can it best fashion its laws and policies governing business practices and access to the courts? What issues will the Mexican courts need to address under the new class action law? Should the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico (COFECO) urge the courts to adopt a price-squeeze theory of antitrust liability? And how might the resolution of these issues impact businesses and consumers in Mexico. These and other important questions will be considered by our experts.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, headquartered in Washington, DC, is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of government powers are central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities. In recent years it has begun holding programs outside of the United States. This is its first program in Mexico.
