Cozen O’Connor will again go before the state Supreme Court—this time on the merits—to argue it should be able to forgive the $450,000 in legal bills U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, D-Pa., racked up during a failed bid for Philadelphia mayor in 2007.

The law firm already went before the high court once as to whether it had standing to argue Brady, a Philadelphia Democrat, would not run afoul of state campaign finance laws that limit contributions to certain annual sums if he raised funds to pay off the debt in toto or if the firm forgave it in toto.
