USE OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. A general framework for answering these questions was provided by the Court in the classic Interstate Circuit case from 1939.20 Interstate Circuit was a chain of so-called “first-run” movie theaters and had a dominant share of the first-run theaters in the relevant geographic market.21 Despite its “monopoly,” Interstate was concerned about competition from “second-run” theaters that did not have the latest releases but charged lower admission prices. Interstate 18 In criminal cases, the defendant is entitled to a jury. In private treble damage cases, if the amount in question is greater that a de minimis threshold, either party can ask for a lay jury. Typically it is the plaintiff who requests the jury, presumably out of a perception, not necessarily supported by empirical data, that juries will be more favorable to plaintiffs than judges in price fixing cases.

Before the formal courtroom trial begins but after a lot of evidence in the form of documents and oral depositions has been amassed, a defendant can seek summary judgment on the grounds that there is no relevant dispute about the facts so that the only issues are legal. Once the courtroom trial has concluded, either just before the case is turned over to the jury or right after the jury has reached a verdict, the defendant can seek judgment as a matter of law (formerly called, respectively, a motion for directed verdict or a motion for judgment notwithstanding the ver...
