Regulation of Political Advocacy Seminar

Advocacy aimed at influencing elections or changing public policy is simultaneously protected as a core constitutional right and regulated as a potential threat to representative government. This Seminar offers a full view of “Political Law” as a field from a legal practitioner’s standpoint, discussing not only the theoretical underpinnings of regulation in this area but also the many practical considerations for advocacy efforts that are attempting to comply with the corporate, tax, campaign finance, lobbying disclosure, and government ethics rules imposed at the federal, state, and local levels in the United States. Real-life examples will be used to frame the discussion as much as possible.
