Description

The overall objective of the course is to introduce students to the laws and regulations that govern political advocacy and elections in the United States, to review the evolution of these laws and explore current proposals and initiatives to reforming these laws to increase participation and address corruption and free speech issues. The course will be taught from a practitioner’s viewpoint focusing on the fundamental issues that organizations, candidates and individuals confront in complying with these laws.

Textbooks and Other Materials

The textbook information on this page was provided by the instructor. Students should use this information when considering purchases from the AU Campus Store or other vendors. Students may check to determine if books are currently available for purchase online.

There is no treatise or case book that addresses the range of topics covered by the course. Therefore, we plan to put the following treatises and case books on hold in the library. While the readings for the course will be pertinent cases and other materials addressing the issues discussed in class, students may find it useful to read selections from these case books and treatises to supplement the course reading to provide an overview of particular issues and topics.
