Note: Exit Polls And The First Amendment, Geoffrey R. Watson Jan 1985

Note: Exit Polls And The First Amendment, Geoffrey R. Watson

Scholarly Articles

This Note examines the constitutionality and the wisdom of these state laws and congressional proposals. Part I traces the history of exit polls and election-night projections. Part II argues that restrictions on the collection or dissemination of exit poll data, whether designed to prevent disruption at the voting area or to protect the integrity of the vote, violate the first amendment. Part III concludes that a uniform poll-closing time coupled with voluntary network restraint would both allay legitimate concerns about election-night predictions and comport with first amendment values.

Australia’S Frozen ‘Orphan’ Embryos: A Medical, Legal And Ethical Dilemma, George P. Smith Ii

The central issues raised here are whether the two frozen embryos have a legal right to 1) live and be implanted in a surrogate mother, and, when and if they are born, 2) assert inheritance rights in the Rios' estate. Equally important is the question of the extent to which research into the new reproductive technologies should be allowed or restricted.
