About this course

The American political system is awash in money. The amount of money, particularly campaign contributions, increasingly raises concerns about corruption, unfair distributions of political power, and the basic integrity of our democracy itself. In this seminar we will focus on growing efforts to limit the role of money and on the legal problems that these efforts generate. Topics include the following: Contribution Limits; Public financing; The emergence of Super-Pacs; Attempts to control "Dark Money," particularly through disclosure. The grade will be based on a substantial paper. Election Law is not a prerequisite.
