Scope and Content Note

This series consists of state and federal court records documenting litigation resulting from the Commission's efforts to conduct its investigation. The litigation concerned efforts by parties being investigated (e.g. state and local political party committees, political action committees) to vacate, cancel, or quash subpoenas requiring testimony before the Commission or the submission of documents to the Commission; to change court venue; or to file an appeal or support motions for a stay pending appeal.

Documents in the series include: pleadings; notices (e.g. notices of motions or cross-motions); motions; affidavits; briefs; memoranda of law; transcripts of proceedings; and orders (e.g. orders to show cause; orders denying motions).
