Catherine J.K. Sandoval is an Assistant Professor of Law at Santa Clara University. She teaches Communications Law, Antitrust and Contracts. She is co-authoring a casebook on Communications Law to be published by Aspen Publishers in 2007. She has written about the application of antitrust and constitutional law to Spanish-language media, challenging the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) conclusion that Spanish-language media competes in a separate market from English-language media. She received a research grant from the Social Sciences Research Council to study the effect of media consolidation on opportunities for minority broadcast ownership. She organized a coalition of scholars to file comments in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 2007 media ownership proceeding on the FCC’s research agenda and minority ownership issues. Her research interests include the internet and the application of telecommunications laws to its governance; the role of antitrust law in shaping media and telecommunications transactions; and access to telecommunications services.
