WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court put a page limit Thursday on how much paperwork it will accept from opponents and supporters of a new campaign finance law.



Justices agreed to accept hundreds of pages of arguments, but not as many as both sides requested. They told lawyers to file their views electronically and on paper.

Electronic filings are not standard at the high court. Special accommodations have been made for the 12 separate appeals in this case, including more extensive written arguments and the posting of the filings on the Internet.

The court is holding a special session in September to hear arguments on the constitutionality of the 2002 law, which bans corporate, union and unlimited contributions to national party committees and restricts advertising by a range of interest groups.

The court's regular term does not begin until October.

The case is McConnell v. FEC, 02-1674.
