Program Description: Caplin & Drysdale's political law and tax exempt attorneys present a timely audio conference on the practical impact and the broader consequences of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in
Citizens United v. FEC. This decision has eliminated the legal restrictions on independent political advertising by non-profit and for-profit corporations, and has sparked renewed attention to campaign finance laws across the nation. The panelists will discuss the Court's ruling, its rationale, and its ripple effects on the political activities of non-profits. The discussion will be followed by Q&A.
