Political Law

• Legislation

  Whether on the local or state level, ordinances or laws are frequently passed by our elected leaders that affect our life, liberty and property. This area of law focuses on influencing government action so that certain activities will either be permitted or prohibited.

• Election and Campaign

  Conducting a political campaign or an election are two areas of law that once were relatively simple but are now heavily regulated on the federal, state and local level. A wide variety of state and federal agencies regulate contributions, expenditures, and the activities of candidates, campaigns, political parties, political action committees, election officials, and even election day observers. Some violations of election and campaign law impose criminal penalties and sound legal guidance is important for every campaign and election process.
