Elettra Bietti is the winner of the ASCOLA Best Junior Paper Award 2025. Her paper has the title “Rawlsian Antitrust”. The jury says: “The paper Rawlsian Antitrust stands out as a work of exceptional intellectual ambition and normative sophistication. Through a bold and original philosophical reframing, the author reinterprets antitrust enforcement using the lens of Rawlsian justice, offering a vision of competition law not merely as a tool for market efficiency but as a means of advancing fairness, democracy, and political legitimacy.” Elettra is an Assistant Professor of Law and Computer Science at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. The jury was composed of professors Fabiana Di Porto, Thomas Cheng, Michal Gal and David Gerber.
