Organises cases over four periods: 1890 to 1914, in which most of today's issues were foreshadowed; 1915 to 1939, in which the "rule of reason" forced courts to investigate the actual consequences of business practices; 1940 to 1975, in which the per se rule and industry concentration provided the predominant models for analysis; and the modern period.

Over 4,000 lawyers lost their positions at major American law firms in 2008 and 2009. In The Vanishing American Lawyer, Professor Thomas Morgan discusses the legal profession and the need for both law students and lawyers to adapt to the needs and expectations of clients in the future. The world needs people who understand institutions that create laws and how to access those institutions' works, but lawyers are no longer part of a profession that isuniquely qualified to advise on a broad range of distinctly legal questions. Clients will need advisors who are more specialized than many lawyers are today and who have more expertise in non-legal issues. Many of today's lawyers do not have a special ability to provide such services. While American lawyers have been hesitant to change the ways they can improve upon meeting client needs, lawyers in other countries, notably Great Britain and Australia, have been better at adapting. Law schools must also recognize the world their students will face and prepare them to operate successfully within it. Professor Morgan warns that lawyers must adapt to new client needs and expectations. The term "professional" should be applied to individuals who deserve praise for skilled andselfless efforts, but this term may lead to occupational suicide if it becomes a justification for not seeing and adapting to the world ahead.
