Bio
Justin (Gus) Hurwitz's work considers the relationship between regulatory and antitrust principles, particularly in the high-tech and telecommunications industries. His current research focuses on tensions between the Supreme Court's recent cases on the application of antitrust laws in regulatory contexts and the Court's resolution of conflicts with regulatory statutes outside of the antitrust context.
Gus joins the faculty as the Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition's (CTIC) inaugural fellow. He has previously been a Visiting Assistant Professor at George Mason University Law School, prior to which he was a Trial Attorney with the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division, Telecommunications and Media Enforcement Section. At DOJ, he helped to investigate the Comcast/NBCU, XM/Sirius, Verizon/Alltel, and BellSouth/SBC mergers, and led other merger and non-merger investigations. He has a background in technology and is the recipient of numerous professional awards from organizations such as the Federal Laboratory Consortium, R&D Magazine, Los Alamos National Lab, IEEE & ACM, and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California. In addition, he held an Internet2 Land Speed World Record with the Guinness Book of World Records.
While a student at the University of Chicago Law School, he received an MVP2 Law & Economics Fellowship and a John M. Olin Law & Economics Fellowship. He was articles editor for the Chicago Journal of International Law.
In addition to his JD from the University of Chicago Law School, he has an MA in economics from George Mason University and a BA from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
