About Pamela Jones Harbour, JD'84
Harbour, who will serve as commissioner through 2009, joined the FTC in 2003 after a distinguished career as a New York deputy attorney general and accomplished litigator. As a partner in the litigation department of Kaye Scholer LLP, she handled antitrust matters, counseling clients on Internet privacy, e-commerce, consumer protection, and a variety of competition-related matters.
During her 11-year term as a New York State Deputy Attorney General, Harbour argued before the United States Supreme Court on behalf of 35 states in State Oil v. Khan, a landmark price-fixing case. Her many successful representations include New York v. Reebok, States v. Keds, and States v. Mitsubishi, each resulting in multimillion-dollar national consumer settlements. Among her most notable antitrust cases were New York v. May Department Stores, a successful anti-merger challenge, and States v. Primestar Partners, a consent judgment culminating a four-year multi-state investigation of the cable television industry.
