Lawyers from the Justice Department and AT&T gathered in a small Washington courtroom Thursday to meet the judge who will oversee their legal battle, one of the biggest antitrust cases in decades.

As Judge Richard Leon lumbered into the room, assembled before him were two conference tables full of attorneys for both sides. In the first row of the audience sat Makan Delrahim, the Justice Department’s antitrust chief.
