San Filippo V. Bongiovanni: The Public Concern Criteria And The Scope Of The Modern Petition Right, Kara E. Shea
San Filippo V. Bongiovanni: The Public Concern Criteria And The Scope Of The Modern Petition Right, Kara E. Shea
Vanderbilt Law Review
If the "person on the street" were asked to name a right guar- anteed to all Americans by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, freedom of speech would likely come quickly to mind, along with the concomitant right of free press. The rights to practice one's religion and peaceably assemble, even the judicially created right of free association might follow closely behind. Few people, how- ever, would mention the "right of the people.., to petition the government for redress of grievances."' Fewer still would be able to give a good definition of petitioning, or to describe the types …
Clash Between The First Amendment And Civil Rights: Public University Nondiscrimination Clauses, The, Richard M. Paul Iii, Derek Rose
Clash Between The First Amendment And Civil Rights: Public University Nondiscrimination Clauses, The, Richard M. Paul Iii, Derek Rose
Missouri Law Review
Individual rights have become increasingly important in this country in the past few decades. University campuses across the country form part of the current bedrock of this movement. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that public universities,' the closest representative of the government to college students, are the subject of much of the pressure to enact rules protecting the rights, viewpoints, and actions of minority members of society. Universities originally intended that nondiscrimination clauses ensure student groups recognized by the university did not exercise improper prejudices based on gender, nationality, or religious belief. Recently, however, the gay rights movement …
Taking Liberties With The First Amendment: Congress, Section 5, And The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Jay S. Bybee
Taking Liberties With The First Amendment: Congress, Section 5, And The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Jay S. Bybee
Vanderbilt Law Review
In July 1788 the North Carolina legislature was considering ratification of the Constitution, a constitution that did not contain a Bill of Rights. As the delegates reached the Religious Test Clause, Henry Abbot remarked:
"Some are afraid... that, should the Constitution be received, they would be deprived of the privilege of worshiping God according to their consciences, which would be taking from them a benefit they enjoy under the present constitution. They wish to know if their religious and civil liberties be secured under this system, or whether the general government may not make laws in- fringing their religious liberties.... …
Liberating Commercial Speech: Product Labeling Controls And The First Amendment, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah
Liberating Commercial Speech: Product Labeling Controls And The First Amendment, Lars Noah, Barbara A. Noah
Faculty Scholarship
As federal regulators impose increasing limits on what manufacturers may say about their products, constitutional protections for commercial speech become ever more important. Indeed, the United States Supreme Court's most recent First Amendment decisions suggest meaningful regard for the value of advertising and labeling as types of protected expression. At the same time, however, federal lawmakers are imposing ever more onerous restrictions on promotional activities and product labeling. The Authors discuss federal law relating to regulation of product labeling.
A Restatement Of The Supreme Court's Law Of Religious Freedom: Coherence, Conflict Or Chaos?, Carl H. Esbeck
A Restatement Of The Supreme Court's Law Of Religious Freedom: Coherence, Conflict Or Chaos?, Carl H. Esbeck
Faculty Publications
Religious freedom as guaranteed in the First Amendment makes religious pluralism more likely, while pluralism makes the maintenance of religious freedom as a fundamental civil right more necessary. It seems there is a limit, however, to the expansion of America's religious pluralism that, when exceeded, shatters cultural consensus thus rendering impossible the political and civil discourse necessary to sustain democratic institutions.1 This follows because pluralism promises freedom but exacts a price in civic disunity and moral confusion. The question thereby resolves itself into just how a religiously diverse people are to live together, despite their deepest differences, while sharing in …

Public Institutions Of Culture And The First Amendment: The New Frontier, Lee C. Bollinger
Public Institutions Of Culture And The First Amendment: The New Frontier, Lee C. Bollinger
Faculty Scholarship
The general subject of my lecture today is the relationship between the First Amendment and public institutions of culture, which I take to be those sponsored and supported by the state with the clear purpose of preserving and promoting high culture in the United States. These include universities, museums, theaters, libraries, public broadcasting networks, programs for art in public places, and the national endowments for the arts and the humanities. All of these institutions or programs are vested with the responsibility of insuring the preservation of high human achievement in the areas to which they are devoted (knowledge, art, music, …
Rhetoric, Evidence, And Bar Agency Restrictions On Speech By Attorneys, Lloyd B. Snyder
Rhetoric, Evidence, And Bar Agency Restrictions On Speech By Attorneys, Lloyd B. Snyder
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
There are two problems with permitting litigation about attorney speech to proceed without requiring bar disciplinary agencies to present empirical data or other evidence to support claims that restrictions on attorney speech are necessary. First, the history of bar association restrictions on attorney speech should make us skeptical that the bar rules are based on lofty ideals about protection of the public. The restrictions began as rules promulgated by elite corporate lawyers whose effect was to limit the activities of their less affluent brethren who were representing criminal defendants and other impoverished clients. The purpose of the rules was to …

Cameras Go To Court: A Study Of Television Cameras In State And Federal Courtrooms, Tonya Rochelle Beavert
Cameras Go To Court: A Study Of Television Cameras In State And Federal Courtrooms, Tonya Rochelle Beavert
Honors Theses
For several years there has been an ongoing dispute between members of the media and members of the legal community about television coverage of judicial proceedings. Members of the media tend to argue that they have a First Amendment right and responsibility to cover court proceedings as a representative of the people. Court officials tend to answer the media's assertion with the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees a defendant the right to a public trial by an impartial jury.
The problem that resulted from the dispute was whether the presence of cameras in the courtroom imposed on defendants' rights or whether …
Note: A Procedural Approach To Limited Public Forum Cases, Lee Rudy
Note: A Procedural Approach To Limited Public Forum Cases, Lee Rudy
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note argues that the Supreme Court, beginning with Perry, has defined the limited public forum in a manner that offends the underlying policies of the First Amendment.9 Part II of this Note explains the significance of the limited public forum doctrine within First Amendment jurisprudence. Part III provides an historical overview of limited public forum cases, demonstrating that Perry relaxed limited public forum analysis by making it easier for government selectively to restrict access to public property, and that subsequent cases have had to struggle to apply Perry. Part IV criticizes Perry's reformulation of the limited public forum as …
Exploiting The Artist's Commercial Identity: The Merchandizing Of Art Images, Jane C. Ginsburg
Exploiting The Artist's Commercial Identity: The Merchandizing Of Art Images, Jane C. Ginsburg
Faculty Scholarship
"Merchandizing properties" are not a recent arrival on the copyright and trademark scene. As early as the 1930s, the Walt Disney Company foresaw the substantial economic gains from licensing the images of its animated motion picture characters in a variety of consumer media, from publications, to soft toys, clothing and household items. Most recently, the World Intellectual Property Organization has prepared a substantial comparative law study of "Character Merchandising." The merchandizing of fine arts images, however, is a more recent development, and is one that has so far received less attention from academic commentators. This article offers some preliminary observations, …
