Professor Brodley, well-known antitrust law scholar, was a long-time professor and former interim dean at BU Law.<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"brodley-joseph\"Joseph Brodley, Honorable Frank K. Kenison Distinguished Scholar in Law and professor of law at Boston University School of Law, passed away in late January 2016. A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 14 at 1 p.m. at First Church: Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe was a great scholar, teacher, and a wonderful mentor to me,\u201d says Dean Maureen A. O\u2019Rourke<\/a>. \u201cOne of the great privileges of my professional life was to co-author an article with him. Most importantly, Joe was a man capable of great kindness. He loved his family and friends and BU. I will miss him but am grateful that he lived a full, long life.\u201d<\/p>\n

At BU Law, Professor Brodley taught in the areas of antitrust law and economic regulation, and served as interim dean from 1989 to 1990. BU Law presented Brodley with a Silver Shingle Award<\/a> for Service to the School in 1991. In recognition of his 30 years of service and to celebrate his contribution to antitrust scholarship, BU Law held a conference to honor his retirement in 2009. Leading antitrust scholars contributed to the conference, including professors of law, economics, and business; current and former FTC Commissioners; and antitrust advocates and practitioners. The papers presented were then published in the Boston University Law Review<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joseph Brodley was recognized internationally for his experience in antitrust issues. He lectured widely in the United States and Europe, served as a consultant to many organizations including the Federal Trade Commission and the Ford Motor Company, and testified before numerous congressional committees. A member of the board of advisors of the American Antitrust Institute in Washington, Professor Brodley was also a visiting fellow at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. He earned his LLB from Yale University, and LLM from Harvard Law School.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe was an excellent colleague,\u201d says Keith Hylton<\/a>, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor at Boston University and professor of law at BU Law. \u201cOur views on antitrust policy differed on several matters but I always found I could learn a lot from him. He was a first rate scholar, and set an example for collegial behavior. He was among a small number of American antitrust scholars who changed the nature of antitrust scholarship over the 1970s to rely more heavily on economic analysis. This is a change that continues to have an impact on competition policy globally. Joe was a giant in the field of antitrust.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
