“WE THE CORPORATIONS?”
Life & Law in the U.S.A. after Citizens United v. FEC

Friday, April 16th, 2010
University of Wisconsin Law School
Madison, Wisconsin

On January 21st, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. An avalanche of criticism from grassroots organizations, members of Congress, and the President of the United States followed. Hundreds of thousands of Americans signed motions calling for action to overrule the Court — including amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

“We the Corporations?” Life & Law in the U.S.A. after Citizens United v. FEC is a one day conference addressing that historic decision, and featuring reactions to it from some of the nation’s leading democracy campaigners and experts on the doctrine of corporate constitutional rights.
