Campaigns and Elections magazine is up with a new round table-style article today, reflecting on Citizens United and the “new world of money and politics,” featuring Neil Reiff. He discusses the impact of the SpeechNow.org case, the permeation of Super PACs into Senate and House races, the impact of BCRA on state and local parties, and more.

He was one of five election lawyers to be featured in the article, along with Mark Elias of Perkins Coie, former FEC Chair Robert Lenhard (now at Covington and Burling), former FEC Chairman Michael Toner (now at Wiley Rein), and Jason Torchinsky of Holtzman Vogel.

On Febrauary 10, SRYL Partner Joseph Sandler was a featured panelist at the annual spring symposium University of North Carolina at Charlotte Law School. The symposium focused on the 2012 elections, and Mr. Sandler served on a panel discussing the effect that Citizens United v. FEC will have on this year’s elections. He was one of five panelists, along with FEC Commissioner Cynthia Bauerly, former FEC Commissioner Scott Thomas, Common Cause North Carolina Executive Director Bob Phillips, and Charlotte Law School Dean Daniel Piar.  In addition, former lobbyist Jack Abramoff served as the keynote speaker to the symposium.
