A Soldier's Blog: Balancing Service Members' Personal Rights Vs. National Security Interests, Tatum H. Lytle Jun 2007

A Soldier's Blog: Balancing Service Members' Personal Rights Vs. National Security Interests, Tatum H. Lytle

Federal Communications Law Journal

This Note examines the competing interests between ensuring military personnel's freedom of speech while protecting national security interests. The Author recognizes the necessity of protecting national security interests but emphasizes that military personnel's rights to free speech must be protected as long as such speech poses no threat to military security. In conclusion, clearer protections must be implemented to protect military personnel's right to free speech.


Plainly Offensive Babel: An Analytical Framework For Regulating Plainly Offensive Speech In Public Schools, Jerry C. Chiang May 2007

Plainly Offensive Babel: An Analytical Framework For Regulating Plainly Offensive Speech In Public Schools, Jerry C. Chiang

Washington Law Review

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to free speech. The guarantee is not absolute, however, and the U.S. Supreme Court has said that the First Amendment does not fully protect student speech in public schools. In Bethel School District v. Fraser, the Court held that schools could regulate "plainly offensive" speech. Circuit courts have interpreted and applied Fraser in an inconsistent manner, disagreeing as to what constitutes plainly offensive speech. The resulting case law is confusing and fails to provide lower courts with a clear analytical framework for evaluating First Amendment challenges to regulations …

Life-Giving Speech Amid An Empire Of Silence, Walter Brueggemann Apr 2007

Life-Giving Speech Amid An Empire Of Silence, Walter Brueggemann

Michigan Law Review

It will come as no surprise to readers of the Law Review that James Boyd White is a daring and wise practitioner of what Clifford Geertz terms "blurred genres." By appeal to Kenneth Burke, Victor Turner, and Paul Ricoeur, among others, Geertz envisions a broad interpretive venture that breaks out of the rigid regulations of a particular discipline to the larger constructive enterprise that entertains life and its meaning as a "game" of face-to-face engagement, or as a "drama" that presses on to the next scene. White's work fits that vision precisely. In Living Speech: Resisting the Empire of Force, …


The Difficult Task Of Model Rule Of Professional Conduct 3.6: Balancing The Free Speech Rights Of Lawyers, The Sixth Amendment Rights Of Criminal Defendants, And Society's Right To The Fair Administration Of Justice, Mattei Radu Apr 2007

The Difficult Task Of Model Rule Of Professional Conduct 3.6: Balancing The Free Speech Rights Of Lawyers, The Sixth Amendment Rights Of Criminal Defendants, And Society's Right To The Fair Administration Of Justice, Mattei Radu

Campbell Law Review

This article will begin with a review of trial publicity rules from the earliest efforts to curb harmful statements of lawyers during trials to the promulgation of Model Rule 3.6 in 1983 by the American Bar Association. It will then examine Gentile, the main Supreme Court case in this area. The article will next consider the 1994 and 2002 amendments to Model Rule 3.6, which were inspired in part by the Court's ruling in Gentile. It will also look specifically at the trial publicity situation in North Carolina, where Durham District Attorney Michael B. Nifong has been charged with violating …

King Solomon: Did The Supreme Court Make A Wise Decision In Upholding The Solomon Amendment In Rumsfeld V. Forum For Academic & Institutional Rights, Inc.?, Brook Bristow Mar 2007

King Solomon: Did The Supreme Court Make A Wise Decision In Upholding The Solomon Amendment In Rumsfeld V. Forum For Academic & Institutional Rights, Inc.?, Brook Bristow

Mercer Law Review

In a unanimous decision in Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic & Institutional Rights, Inc., the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment. The Court ruled that under the Solomon Amendment, military recruiters must be given the same access as nonmilitary recruiters on university campuses. The Court's holding clarified three First Amendment tangential freedom issues: (1) what is and what is not expressive conduct; (2) what constitutes compelled speech; and (3) what is meant by expressive association.

Silencing The Blogosphere: A First Amendment Caution To Legislators Considering Using Blogs To Communicate Directly With Constituents, D. Wes Sullenger Jan 2007

Silencing The Blogosphere: A First Amendment Caution To Legislators Considering Using Blogs To Communicate Directly With Constituents, D. Wes Sullenger

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Alexis de Tocqueville wrote that “every new invention, every new want which it occasioned, and every new desire which craved satisfaction were steps toward a general leveling [of society].” The changes wrought by the growth of Internet use reaffirm the truth of the statement. The Internet has created new opportunities for communication and expanded the reach of speakers more than any medium yet conceived.


The Fcc Complaint Process And Increasing Public Unease: Toward An Apolitical Broadcast Indecency Regime, Kurt Hunt Jan 2007

The Fcc Complaint Process And Increasing Public Unease: Toward An Apolitical Broadcast Indecency Regime, Kurt Hunt

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

[...]I propose depoliticizing the broadcast indecency regime by utilizing polling to determine the average broadcast viewer's opinion, divorced from all the pressures inherent in relying on the complaint process as a proxy. In section II, I will discuss the background and development of the broadcast indecency doctrine from the days of the Federal Radio Commission in the 1920s through the present day. I will also explain why the apparent increasing public unease is misleading, and why valid First Amendment concerns are steamrolled by the fiery nature of the debate. In section III, I will explain why the FCC's reliance on …
