AMR Antitrust Judge Limits Union Court Briefs: Bankruptcy

Unions representing workers at AMR Corp. and its intended merger partner, US Airways Group Inc., will be able to submit friend-of-the-court briefs for an antitrust trial -- within limits.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington is trying to prevent the unions and other bystanders from submitting hundreds of pages of briefs all making the same arguments in the lawsuit brought by the U.S. to block the merger.
