Carl Hittinger was a panelist for The Legal Intelligencer's Litigation Roundtable on the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, which gives immunity to private entities faced with potential liability under antitrust laws for attempts to influence the passage or enforcement of laws, even if such laws would have anticompetitive effects. Hittinger discussed the reach of this doctrine and its potential future concerns during the roundtable, entitled "The Future of the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine, Has It Expanded Too Far?"
