Political Law is a legal practice generally covering the intersection of politics and law. Political law includes laws at the federal and state level involving campaign finance rules (how campaigns for elective office are funded and executed), the practice of lobbying and lobbying disclosure, gifts to officeholders and government executives, lobbying disclosure rules, and legislative and executive branch ethics codes. Political law encompasses the application of these laws to individuals, political action committees, political campaigns, candidates for office, government officials (both elected and appointed), political parties, outside groups, independent groups, and other entities (such as so-called "527" organizations).
