On the premise that the labor-antitrust intersection is a portal to more basic questions of economic coordination and competition spanning numerous areas of law, her current book project, Solidarity in the Shadow of Antitrust: Labor and the Legal Idea of Competition, charts and reinterprets the co-development of key strands of legal and economic thought in this area.
Paul’s articles have appeared or will appear in a number of law reviews, including the University of Chicago Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the Yale Law Journal, the UCLA Law Review, Law & Contemporary Problems, the Journal of Antitrust Enforcement, and the Berkeley Journal of Employment & Labor Law.
