Professor Stucke brought 13 years of litigation experience when he joined the UT College of Law faculty in 2007. As a trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, he successfully challenged anticompetitive mergers and restraints in numerous industries, and focused on policy issues involving antitrust and the media. As a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, he prosecuted a variety of felony and misdemeanor offenses, including running a weekly docket before the Honorable Thomas Rawles Jones, Jr. As an associate at Sullivan & Cromwell, Professor Stucke assisted in defending Goldman Sachs, CS First Boston, and Microsoft in civil antitrust litigation, and he was presented two awards by The Legal Aid Society for his criminal appellate and defense work. Professor Stucke has also served on the Advisory Panel for Vanderbilt University’s Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy, a research center dedicated to designing a new road map for cultural policy in America. He recently was elected to the Advisory Board of the American Antitrust Institute, an independent Washington, D.C.-based non-profit education, research, and advocacy organization devoted to competition policy.  Professor Stucke is chairing a committee on the media industry that will draft a transition report for the next administration. His scholarship has been cited by the OECD, competition agencies, and policymakers.
