The U.S. Supreme Court Addresses The Child Pornography Prevention Act And Child Online Protection Act In Ashcroft V. Free Speech Coalition And Ashcroft V. American Civil Liberties Union, Sue Ann Mota
Federal Communications Law Journal
Both the Child Pornography Prevention Act ("CPPA") and the Child Online Protection Act ("COPA") were intended by Congress to protect minors. The CPPA was intended to protect minors from the harmful effects of virtual child pornography. The COPA was intended to protect minors from pornography currently available commercially on the World Wide Web. However, in 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of both statutes: The Court struck down sections of the CPPA as overbroad and unconstitutional in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition. In Ashcroft v. ACLU, the Court upheld some sections of COPA as not unconstitutionally overbroad, but …

America And The World: Human Rights At Home And Abroad., Joe W. (Chip) Pitts Iii
America And The World: Human Rights At Home And Abroad., Joe W. (Chip) Pitts Iii
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Multiple provisions in the Bill of Rights appear gutted around the last year. While abroad, Mr. Pitts received an outside perspective on American news which provided him with a new outlook on current events. The United Nations Social Forum brought voices into the United Nations which are not typically heard, such as poor and vulnerable populations not represented elsewhere. Concurrently, the Johannesburg Summit addressed similar issues. However, as of late, the American government suppresses the voices of the American people. The Patriot Act includes provisions which deter dissent, freedom of speech, and assembly. This Act also purported to give the …
Injunctive Relief In The Internet Age: The Battle Between Free Speech And Trade Secrets, Adam W. Johnson
Injunctive Relief In The Internet Age: The Battle Between Free Speech And Trade Secrets, Adam W. Johnson
Federal Communications Law Journal
The information revolution has led to technological innovations in the movement, storage, and dissemination of information. The Internet allows a person, with good or bad intent, to distribute information to millions of people. This ability raises serious implications when trade secret information is the subject of Internet postings. Once a trade secret becomes publicly available, it loses its legal secrecy, and special legal protection. Additionally, competitors and everyone else on the Internet can gain access to the information. For those who rely on trade secret protection to guard their inventions, this presents a growing concern.
This Note will illustrate the …
Commercial Speech And The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine: A Second Look At "The Greater Includes The Lesser", Mitchell N. Berman
Commercial Speech And The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine: A Second Look At "The Greater Includes The Lesser", Mitchell N. Berman
Vanderbilt Law Review
Over half a century ago, the Puerto Rico legislature legalized casino gambling in an effort to promote tourism to the island.' To help ensure that the local population would not overindulge in this particular vice, however, the legislature at the same time provided that "[n]o gambling room shall be permitted to advertise or other- wise offer their facilities to the public of Puerto Rico."' Thirty years later a casino operator challenged the statutory advertising ban and its implementing regulations as violating the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. Although the Superior Court of Puerto Rico agreed with the …

The Indecency Of Unsolicited Sexually Explicit Email: A Comment On The Protection Of Free Speech V. The Protection Of Children, Monique Redford
The Indecency Of Unsolicited Sexually Explicit Email: A Comment On The Protection Of Free Speech V. The Protection Of Children, Monique Redford
Seattle University Law Review
Because the state of Washington has a compelling interest in protecting the moral and psychological welfare of its children, the current spam law should be amended to also proscribe the transmission of unsolicited sexually explicit commercial email within its borders. This article argues that such an amendment would not violate either the dormant Commerce Clause or the First Amendment. In support of this thesis, section II first addresses the pervasive problem of children-not just adults-receiving sexually explicit material via unsolicited email. Then, sections III through V discuss the implications of the dormant Commerce Clause, the First Amendment, and the policy …
The Government Tunes In To Tune Out The Marketing Of Violent Entertainment To Kids, Shannon Mccoy
The Government Tunes In To Tune Out The Marketing Of Violent Entertainment To Kids, Shannon Mccoy
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This Note examines the recent investigation conducted by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") and its 2001 Follow-Up to that inquiry. The September 2000 Report ("Report") concluded that the entertainment industry intentionally and aggressively advertises both R and PG-13 movies to children under the age of 18. As a solution, the FTC recommended self-regulation by the entertainment industry. The 2001 Follow-Up to the Report ("Follow-Up") found that although the movie industry has made progress, a greater effort must be exerted to successfully eliminate the marketing of violent entertainment to children.' Both the Report and the Follow-Up demonstrate that self-regulation …

Shoot First, Talk Later: Blowing Holes In Freedom Of Speech, Jacqueline Tresl
Shoot First, Talk Later: Blowing Holes In Freedom Of Speech, Jacqueline Tresl
Animal Law Review
Ms. Tresl examines the constitutionality of hunter harassment laws. When a five-step doctrinal analysis is applied to hunter harassment statutes, it is clear that the statutes are content-based and subject to the strictest of scrutiny. Because the statutes fail the strict scrutiny test, they therefore violate the American citizenry’s First Amendment right to free expression.
Book Review, Steven D. Smith, Reviewer
Book Review, Steven D. Smith, Reviewer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Surely none of the following essays addresses or explores these claims and questions in any deliberate way. Nonetheless, in these opening pages, it seems that Ahdar is seeking to re-engage the questions that characterized the Western tradition from which our modern issues in law and religion descend, but which that tradition in its modern form has by now largely suppressed. The implication, it seems, is that in order to address the issues of the interaction of law and religion in an efficacious way, we must not only acknowledge that religion is a social phenomenon--although it is that, as Professor van …

The Decision In United States V. Brown: The Fifth Circuit Interprets Justice Is Blind Literally., Robert M. Anselmo
The Decision In United States V. Brown: The Fifth Circuit Interprets Justice Is Blind Literally., Robert M. Anselmo
St. Mary's Law Journal
In United States v. Brown, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district courts use of anonymous jury orders. The use of anonymous juries, however, is either a necessary protection for jury members or an unfair procedural practice. The Fifth Circuit’s support for anonymous juries included concerns over threats, intimidation, and possible attempts to influence juror members in order to secure a favorable verdict. The promise of a jury of one's peers is a cornerstone of the United States judicial system. Implicit in this guarantee is the assurance of an impartial jury. Nonetheless, a jury that sits in fear may not fulfill …
