Antimask Laws: Exploring The Outer Bounds Of Protected Speech Under The First Amendment—State V. Miller, 260 Ga. 669, 398 S.E.2d 547 (1990), Oskar E. Rey Oct 1991

Antimask Laws: Exploring The Outer Bounds Of Protected Speech Under The First Amendment—State V. Miller, 260 Ga. 669, 398 S.E.2d 547 (1990), Oskar E. Rey

Washington Law Review

In State v. Miller, the Supreme Court of Georgia held that the Georgia Antimask Statute does not violate free speech rights under the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Antimask statutes prohibit, with certain exceptions, the wearing of masks in a public place. The stated purposes of these statutes vary, but it is fairly clear that antimask laws are designed to deter Ku Klux Klan activity. This Note explores the first amendment implications of antimask laws, and concludes that antimask statutes are unconstitutional.


Sex, Lies And Videotape: The Pornographer As Censor, Marianne Wesson Oct 1991

Sex, Lies And Videotape: The Pornographer As Censor, Marianne Wesson

Washington Law Review

The legal branch of the women's movement, although of one mind on some subjects, is divided on the proper approach to pornography. Some feminists oppose the imposition of any legal burdens on pornography because they fear that feminist speech will be caught in the general suppression, and others believe that any such burdens must violate the first amendment. Professor Wesson suggests that pornography should be defined to include only those materials that equate sexual pleasure with the infliction of violence or pain, and imply approval of conduct that generates the actor's arousal or satisfaction through this infliction. So defined, pornography …

Draft Of From Privacy To Publicity - 1991, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

In defense of a "right 'to be let alone'", Warren and Brandeis published their landmark article, The Right to Privacy, approximately one hundred years ago. Over seventy years later, the American Law Institute endorsed a tort right in defense of privacy, and also included in its section on privacy rights a cause of action to redress "appropriation" of one's "name or likeness". Since then courts have used various bases to grant celebrities rights to protect their commercial identities from commercial exploitation by others. Although most states now recognize a right of publicity either by judicial decision or statute, the cause …

Prescription Drug Approval And Terminal Diseases: Desperate Times Require Desperate Measures, John P. Dillman May 1991

Prescription Drug Approval And Terminal Diseases: Desperate Times Require Desperate Measures, John P. Dillman

Vanderbilt Law Review

It is no surprise that the press, in exercising its traditional first amendment freedom, often discloses truthful information about individuals that those individuals would prefer to keep private. An inevitable tension exists between the public's right to know and the individual's right to be let alone.' What is surprising, however, especially given the historic recognition of both a free press and individual privacy as rights fundamental to the preservation of American society, is that the privacy interests of the individual almost always lose. The prevalent rationale for this lopsided result is that the first amendment protects the values promoted by …

The First Amendment At Home And Abroad, Pnina Lahav

The powerful appeal of the First Amendment flows from the rhetoric it has inspired. Holmes's "[W]hen men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe ... that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market"; Brandeis's " ... the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; ... order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; ... it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination; fear breeds repression; ... repression breeds hate; ... hate menaces stable …

Constitutional Law: Nude Dancing And Political Speech As Protected Expression- The Scope Of The Due Process Guarantee, Rosalie Levinson Jan 1991

Constitutional Law: Nude Dancing And Political Speech As Protected Expression- The Scope Of The Due Process Guarantee, Rosalie Levinson

Law Faculty Publications

In a 1988 address, Chief Justice Shepard invited Indiana practitioners to reexamine the Indiana Constitution as a potentially significant source for the protection of individual liberty. Although there has been some movement in this direction in defending the rights of criminals, there has been little civil rights litigation brought under the Indiana Constitution. Therefore, this Article will explore state and federal court cases that raise significant federal constitutional issues implicating Indiana law and Indiana litigants. The most noteworthy cases during the survey period dealt with freedom of expression and the due process clause.

Free Speech And The Mandated Disclosure Of Information, R. George Wright Jan 1991

Free Speech And The Mandated Disclosure Of Information, R. George Wright

University of Richmond Law Review

This essay focuses on one element of an important, unresolved question in free speech law. The broader unresolved question concerns how freedom of speech, as a legal and social institution, operates best or most efficiently. Our society has often debated how an economy, as a legal and social institution, functions best. On this analogous question, we have generally concluded that the national economy ought to manifest a mixture of at least minimally voluntary marketplace exchanges and appropriate forms of government regulation.
