These include restrictions on or prohibitions against: political redistricting litigation and lobbying, representation of drug dealers in drug-related evictions, legal assistance to prisoners, abortion-related litigation, representation of illegal aliens, challenges to welfare reform, attorney's fees, class action suits and representation of aliens not in the United States.
