Awareness Of Meaning In Libel Law: An Interdisciplinary Communication & Law Critique, Clay Calvert Nov 1995

Awareness Of Meaning In Libel Law: An Interdisciplinary Communication & Law Critique, Clay Calvert

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article critiques, from a communication and law perspective, a proposal to add another element to the already complex calculus of constitutional libel law. The element--a subjective state of mind hurdle closely akin to the actual malice standard--requires libel plaintiffs to prove that defendants were aware of the defamatory meaning conveyed by their messages at the time of publication. The article suggests that while free speech and press interests under the First Amendment may militate in favor of courts adopting this element, it: 1) conflicts with tie reality of communication processes inherent in meaning determination; 2) denigrates the pivotal roles …

People Do Read Large Ads: The Law Of Advertising From Outer Space, Don E. Tomlinson, Rob L. Wiley Apr 1995

People Do Read Large Ads: The Law Of Advertising From Outer Space, Don E. Tomlinson, Rob L. Wiley

Federal Communications Law Journal

Although many may not be aware of it; the .technological capability currently exists to launch large, billboard-type advertisements into outer space. These ads could be as large as a full moon, and last for an almost infinite duration. Reaction to the possibility of space advertising has been generally negative, with many expressing concerns about the aesthetic effect of floating space billboards. One recent example of this is the proposal to launch a billboard containing the five-ring Olympic symbol in connection with Atlanta's hosting the 1996 Olympics, which was rejected by Mayor Maynard Jackson as "environmental pollution." Despite the fact that …

First Amendment And Private Property: A Sign For Free Speech, The, Anthony J. Durone, Melissa K. Smith Apr 1995

First Amendment And Private Property: A Sign For Free Speech, The, Anthony J. Durone, Melissa K. Smith

Missouri Law Review

Freedom of speech is one of the best known of all the constitutional rights protected by the Bill of Rights. Freedom of speech has received special attention from the courts for at least three reasons: (1) it is essential to the political process that is the foundation of our democracy;3 (2) it is fundamentally important to the discovery of truth in the free marketplace of ideas;4 and (3) it is an end in itself in a free country. In furtherance of a substantial interest, however, the freedom of speech falls subject to the police power of the state. In City …


You Have The Right To Criticize This Casenote: Protecting Negative Reviews Within The Law Of Defamation And The First Amendment, David C. Vogel Apr 1995

You Have The Right To Criticize This Casenote: Protecting Negative Reviews Within The Law Of Defamation And The First Amendment, David C. Vogel

Missouri Law Review

In Moldea v. New York Times Co., the District of Columbia Court of Appeals attempted to determine under what circumstances a statement labeled as opinion may be the basis for a defamation suit. The court approached the topic with some difficulty, as the United States Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co. had created confusion in lower courts over not only the validity of several traditional tests used to distinguish between fact and opinion, but also as to whether placing statements in an opinion context provides them with blanket protection from liability, regardless of their content. The …

Civil Rico, Protesters, And The First Amendment: A Constitutional Combination, Timothy S. Millman Jan 1995

Civil Rico, Protesters, And The First Amendment: A Constitutional Combination, Timothy S. Millman

Missouri Law Review

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") provides for both government causes of action and a private cause of action. The private cause of action is usually referred to as civil RICO In recent years, abortion clinics and other groups have used civil RICO in suits against violent protesters. The circuits had disagreed, however, on whether RICO requires the defendant to be economically motivated. The circuits had disagreed, however, on whether RICO.

The Natural Law Tradition On The Modern Supreme Court: Not Burke, But The Enlightenment Tradition Represented By Locke, Madison, And Marshall., R. Randall Kelso Jan 1995

The Natural Law Tradition On The Modern Supreme Court: Not Burke, But The Enlightenment Tradition Represented By Locke, Madison, And Marshall., R. Randall Kelso

St. Mary's Law Journal

A traditional common-law style of judicial decisionmaking exists which was present at this nation’s founding. This common law style is derived from natural law tradition. And this tradition stands as an alternative to the formalism of Justice Scalia or the Holmesian style of Chief Justice Rehnquist. This natural law style, with its focus on the religious and communitarian ethical tradition, was the dominant view of judicial interpretation for the framing and ratifying generation of the original Constitution and the Civil War Amendments. The decisionmaking style of Justices O’Connor, Kennedy, and Souter appears to have great affinity with this traditional common-law …
