'''''Independent Special Prosecutor v. Kisswani''''', F-24-059 (2024), was a landmark decision of the [[Central Student Judiciary]]. The case concerned [[Hana Kisswani]], a School of Social Work Assembly candidate who accepted a donation from her non-student sister and exceeded the $125 campaign spending limit. The Court held that a rule prohibiting donations from non-students did not apply to candidates' acceptance of such donations, and only prohibited non-students from making donations. More significantly, the Court struck down the Candidate Expenditure Limit as unconstitutional under the Free Speech Clause of the [[All-Campus Constitution]], applying [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict%20scrutiny strict scrutiny] and overturning [[Parikh v. University Elections Commission (2012)|''Parikh v. UEC'' (2012)]].
