Children And The First Amendment, John H. Garvey

Scholarly Articles

If children possess moral and political rights against the state, theories about these rights have scarcely progressed beyond first principles. The state must retain power to regulate education and some aspects of family life. Parents sometimes have a final say concerning what a child may do and experience. Professor Garvey offers an account of the way in which these and other realities shape the child's rights of free expression under the first amendment.

Blood Transfusions And Elective Surgery: A Custodial Function Of An Ohio Juvenile Court, M. J. Zaremski

Cleveland State Law Review

Juvenile Court has traditionally been though of, within American jurisprudence, as an appendage of the state acting as parens patriae.

In 1959 the United States Supreme Court in Smith v. California'held a city and county ordinance unconstitutional for failure to require scienter on the part of a defendant. That ordinance, like many other ordinances and state statutes, subjected a bookseller to criminal prosecution for the sale of obscene literature regardless of whether he knew that it was obscene.

This self-censorship would constitute …
