Free Speech And Corporate Freedom: A Comment On First National Bank Of Boston V. Bellotti, Carl E. Schneider Sep 1986

Free Speech And Corporate Freedom: A Comment On First National Bank Of Boston V. Bellotti, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

The corporation was born in chains but is everywhere free. That freedom was recently affirmed by the United States Supreme Court in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti. In Bellotti, the Court overturned a Massachusetts criminal statute forbidding banks and business corporations to make expenditures intended to influence referenda concerning issues not "materially affecting" the corporation's "property, business, or assets." In doing so, the Court confirmed its discovery that commercial speech is not unprotected by the first amendment and announced a novel doctrine that corporate speech is not unprotected by the first amendment. Although several years have …


New Rules For Zoning Adult Uses: The Supreme Court's Renton Decision, Alan Weinstein Aug 1986

New Rules For Zoning Adult Uses: The Supreme Court's Renton Decision, Alan Weinstein

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This term, for the third time in 10 years, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the validity of zoning that restricts the location or operation of businesses that trade in sexually oriented books, magazines, movies, or entertainment. Restrictions on such "adult businesses" raise serious constitutional issues because the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech extends to sexually oriented media so long as the material is not considered obscene. In the latest case, City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, 106 S.Ct. 925 (1986), 38 ZD 258, the Court upheld a zoning ordinance that limited the location of theaters exhibiting adult movies …

From Freedom Of Commercial Speech To Consumer's Freewill: Comparative Advertising As A Watchdog Of Consumer's Interests, France Michel Jan 1986

From Freedom Of Commercial Speech To Consumer's Freewill: Comparative Advertising As A Watchdog Of Consumer's Interests, France Michel

LLM Theses and Essays

According to the first amendment’s freedom of commercial speech theory, comparative advertising should represent the ultimate in terms of “right to speak” and “right to listen” in the marketplace of goods. Although the first right is severely regulated by government and private bodies in order to insure a greater protection to consumers exercising the second; this goal is not always achieved. Thanks mainly to the FTC’s initiatives and the support of its private pupils, consumer protection has evolved from “caveat emptor” to “caveat vendor.” The practice of comparative advertising might also make its contribution to the expansion of advertising’s Latin …

Problems In Search Of Principles: The First Amendment In The Supreme Court From 1791-1930, Howard Hunter

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

During the past decade scholars have published a tremendous number of articles on the first amendment. Yet with all that has been written about the freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and religion, there remains an urge to read more and to write more. The process seems almost as important as the subject.

Free Exercise And The Values Of Religious Liberty, John H. Garvey Jan 1986

Free Exercise And The Values Of Religious Liberty, John H. Garvey

Scholarly Articles

One thing that has always bothered me about free exercise jurisprudence is that it rests on values we have seldom tried to state, much less justify. In a way this is not surprising. We have only recently abandoned the assumption, which may never have been true, that Americans share a common understanding of language about God and transcendent values. That understanding made it unnecessary to define for nonspeakers a meaning that even believers have trouble putting into words. But today we are probably not "a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being-at least not if "religious" is supposed to …

Conflicts Between Copyright And The First Amendment After Harper & Row, Publishers V. Nation Enterprises, David E. Shipley Jan 1986

Conflicts Between Copyright And The First Amendment After Harper & Row, Publishers V. Nation Enterprises, David E. Shipley

Scholarly Works

The relationship between copyright and the first amendment has been discussed repeatedly in the past fifteen years. A free speech privilege has been asserted as a defense in many copyright infringement actions, and the topic has been the subject of lively academic debate. Although no court has held an infringement claim to be defeated by a first amendment defense, considerable attention has been paid to the potential conflict between copyright and free speech interests. Commentators have speculated that in some situations copyright protection could impermissibly abridge the first amendment. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Harper & Row, Publishers …
