WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A lawyer for 14 states led by Texas that have accused Alphabet's Google of breaking antitrust law asked a federal judge to schedule a trial for the spring of 2022, while the search and advertising giant has asked for a trial in the fall of 2023.

In a pre-trial hearing on Thursday, Mark Lanier, arguing for Texas and the other states, said the burden was on them to prove the case against Google and that they could be ready quickly. "We're able to put focused people on this to make this their reason for living," Lanier told the judge.
