Examples of Current CasesCampaign Finance Reform – Supreme Court Brief for Members of Congress in McConnell v. FECLead Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, L.L.P. Attorney: We represent a group of members of Congress of both parties as amicus curae (friends of the court) in the litigation over the new campaign finance law (McCain-Feingold-Shays-Meehan).
