Laurence Laufer's Article, "Picture This: Campaign Finance Law and the Question of Values,” Published in Seton Hall Law Review

Partner Laurence D. Laufer,  Director of the firm’s Corporate Political Activity Law Practice Group, has published an article in Seton Hall Law Review entitled “Picture This: Campaign Finance Law and the Question of Values,” 43 Seton Hall L. Rev. 1209 (2013). The piece provides a thumbnail sketch of federal law as it exists today; catalogues predominant critiques of significant components of current law, taking note of commonly suggested avenues for reform; and poses an exercise for identifying common values that should be served by campaign finance laws. Mr. Laufer asks the reader to “think of a blank canvas and try to contemplate the values the American public thinks campaign finance laws should serve in a democratic political system.” The article was picked by Rick Hasen's Election Law Blog.
