Contents: The Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works for the public interest in the areas of campaign finance, communications, and government ethics. Through targeted litigation, participation in administrative rulemaking, and public education, the CLC seeks to enforce existing laws and shape national policy. In support of this mission, the CLC website highlights court cases, administrative proceedings, pending legislation, and redistricting issues relevant to their goals. It also publishes weekly reports, articles of interest, and key reference documents that provide additional resources to understand these complex areas of law. Finally, the site provides web links to other organizations that deal with similar issues. In sum, the legal researcher will find the CLC website to be a strong resource in finding current information and news on litigation, regulations, and legislation affecting the democratic process in America.
