Abstract:
Groups airing ads in state Supreme Court races in six states raised more than $19 million for their activities, with much of the money coming from contributors interested in the issue of limiting liability in lawsuits. And because of varying state and federal laws, some of the groups were able to skirt requirements for disclosing who was funding their efforts.
