GOLDFARB v. VIRGINIA STATE BAR 421 U.S. 773 (1975)
By extending antitrust liability to the legal profession, this decision afforded consumers further protection against illegal business practices. The minimum fee schedule of the Fairfax County Bar Association, enforced by the Virginia State Bar, fixed the lowest charge for title searches at one percent of the value of the property involved. A unanimous eight-member Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice warren e. burger, sustaining a class action against the state and county bars, found violations of the price-fixing provisions of the sherman antitrust act as well as restraint of interstate commerce.
