Join Stanford Law School in New York City for a timely discussion on the potential implications of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC ruling, which struck down federal campaign finance law that restricted corporate political ads.
How should we regulate the political process? What will be the effect of Citizens United? Will foreign corporations’ donations affect national elections? What will the ruling mean for social initiatives like the health care reform? How will the Citizens United ruling affect white collar crime? What kind of transparency will be required from corporations and unions – and can transparency level the political playing field?
