Speaker:
- Prof. Bradley Smith, Josiah H. Blackmore II/Shirley M. Nault Designated Professor of Law, Capital University Law School and Former Federal Elections Commissioner
Please join us for a special Dinner Forum -at which Brad Smith will talk about the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling last January striking down bans on political expenditures by both for-profit and non-profit corporations.
A response to the Federal Election Commission's prohibition of the airing of Hilary: The Movie and other corporate political speech near an election, Citizens United is a landmark case in which the majority cited Professor Smith's pivotal scholarship on more than one or two occasions.
A 2010 recipient of a Bradley Prize - one of the highest honors in American conservatism - Professor Smith received his law degree from Harvard and holds an endowed professorship at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. He is also chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics in Arlington, Virginia, and of no small consequence, a former chairman of the FEC.
