Three state bar associations in Virginia have endorsed Marshall-Wythe School of Law Professor Alan Meese as a potential nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.  Professor Meese writes about issues in antitrust law, and currently serves as a Senior Advisor to the Antitrust Modernization Commission created by Congress to make recommendations about reforms to the antitrust regime.  He formerly served as a law clerk to Judge Frank Easterbrook on the Seventh Circuit and Justice Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court. 

Professor Meese has argued, among other things, that "courts should relax the intrusive scrutiny they currently apply to exclusionary agreements entered by monopolists," and that "[t]he majority decision in Bush v. Gore vindicated the rule of law."
