Election Law - Getting on the Ballot

1 Hour Illinois MCLE Credit

Course overview: Michael Kasper, an expert in election law, will survey the federal and state laws that govern the earliest phase of campaigns - the process of getting a candidate on the ballot. This course will deal with the theory and practice of keeping campaigns in compliance with the law in the high pressure, high-risk context of partisan politics. The course is recommended for attorneys who are occasionally called upon to advise campaigns, who are contemplating running for office, and who simply want to better understand the way elections are supposed to be run.
