To ensure a consistent national, Department-wide policy on antitrust questions and consistent enforcement of federal antitrust laws, the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division is responsible for supervising all federal antitrust investigations and proceedings. 28 C.F.R. § 0.40.
The Antitrust Division accomplishes its mission in two principal ways. First, as an enforcement agency, it prosecutes violations criminally and civilly, primarily under the Sherman and Clayton Acts. Second, it advocates competition before congressional committees and federal regulatory agencies, articulating pro-competitive solutions for economic problems.
