Surveillance Of Emergent Associations: Freedom Of Association In A Network Society, Katherine J. Strandburg
Surveillance Of Emergent Associations: Freedom Of Association In A Network Society, Katherine J. Strandburg
Katherine J. Strandburg
Recent events have combined to bring of the prospect of using communications traffic data to ferret out suspect groups and investigate their membership and structure to the forefront of debate. While such “relational surveillance” has been around for years, efforts are being made to update traffic analysis to incorporate insights from “social network analysis” -- a means of analyzing relational structures developed by sociologists.1-13 Interest in employing social network analysis for law enforcement purposes was given a huge boost after September 11, 2001 when attention focused on tracking terrorist networks.5,7,9,11,12,14-17 Traffic data, when stored, aggregated, and analyzed using sophisticated computer …
How The Legal System, Along With Growing Public Dissatisfaction With The Status Quo, Ironically Aided In The Creation Of New Hollywood, Which Promoted Films Of Lawlessness, Disorder And Instability, Todd M. Morton
Todd M Morton
The period known as New Hollywood in American film was created by the American legal system coupled with a growing dissatisfaction with the status quo. A series of First Amendment cases along with the 1948 Paramount decision forced Hollywood to produce graphic and existential films that appealed to the disaffected youth generation and laid out in unprecedented style the problems that plagued the youths of the day.

Religious Liberty That Almost Wasn't: On The Origin Of The Establishment Clause Of The First Amendment, Gregory C. Downs
Religious Liberty That Almost Wasn't: On The Origin Of The Establishment Clause Of The First Amendment, Gregory C. Downs
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
The purpose of this article is to briefly examine the origin of the Establishment Clause in the event sometimes referred to as the "Virginia Experience," and to consider the possibility that the significant "leading roles" in the First Amendment's creation were not limited to Jefferson and Madison. Further, Madison's leading role in the actual sponsorship of the First Amendment may not have been entirely voluntary. With the ever-present litigation and controversies revolving around the extent and meaning of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, the overlooked history of the creation of the First Amendment is both interesting and instructive in the …
Medium-Specific Regulation Of Attorney Advertising: A Critique, Lyrissa Lidsky, Tera Peterson
Medium-Specific Regulation Of Attorney Advertising: A Critique, Lyrissa Lidsky, Tera Peterson
Faculty Publications
Florida has been one of the most aggressive states in regulating attorney advertising. The Florida Supreme Court recently adopted new and more stringent rules regulating broadcast advertising by attorneys, and the court appears poised to adopt new and more stringent rules governing Internet advertising by attorneys. As this Article details, the problem is that Florida's new and proposed rules violate both the First Amendment and sound public policy principles. This Article provides guidance to states contemplating further regulation of attorney advertising, and it indirectly critiques current commercial speech doctrine.
Preaching, Fundraising And The Constitution: On Proselytizing And The First Amendment , Mark Strasser
Preaching, Fundraising And The Constitution: On Proselytizing And The First Amendment , Mark Strasser
Mark Strasser
In a series of cases, the Court has suggested that proselytizing, whether or not including solicitation of donations, is entitled to robust constitutional protection. The Court recently affirmed that view in Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Incorporated v. Village of Stratton. Yet, the relevant jurisprudence is much less clear than either the Court or commentators seem willing to admit. When one considers the cases involving the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), one sees that the protections for proselytizing, especially when involving solicitation, are much weaker than might first be thought. This Article explores the proselytizing cases, …
Second Draft Of The Public's Right To Fair Use - 2007, Wendy J. Gordon
Second Draft Of The Public's Right To Fair Use - 2007, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
Under provocative titles like "fared use" and "the end of friction," commentators argue about whether or not the doctrine of "fair use" should exist in a world of instantaneous transactions. As collecting societies like the Copyright Clearance Center become more powerful, and technologies like the internet have made it possible to purchase digital copies by clicking a mouse, the suggestion is sometimes made that fair use could or should disappear. Courts like the Second and Sixth Circuits have flirted with foreclosing fair use if a licensing market is present or possible. The presence of 'traditional, reasonable, or likely to be …

Preacher Man V. Porn King: A Legal, Cultural, And Moral Drama Starring Jerry Falwell, Larry Flynt, And The First Amendment, Tory L. Lucas
Faculty Publications and Presentations
Take one part proselytizing, political Southern Baptist televangelist, one part obnoxious, media-seeking pornographer, and one part First Amendment free speech, and you get the colossal legal, cultural, and moral battle embodied in the seminal Supreme Court case of Hustler Magazine v. Falwell. It all started in late 1983 with a controversial and despicable ad parody of a man and his mother that culminated in an aggressive legal battle between litigants on polar opposites of the moral and legal spectrum. Going behind the text of the Supreme Court decision, this article delves into the history behind the unique circumstances that made …
Reflections On The Technicolor Right To Association In American Labor And Employment Law, Paul M. Secunda
Reflections On The Technicolor Right To Association In American Labor And Employment Law, Paul M. Secunda
Paul M. Secunda
It is time to rethink how the United States enforces the right of association in the workplace. The proliferation of political associational rights, intimate association rights, and expressive association rights in the constitutional sphere over the last thirty years has made the scope of this fundamental civil liberty confusing and hard to enforce. Outside of the constitutional framework, which generally applies only to public employees, low union density and the lack of common law associational claims have made private-sector employees' associational rights vulnerable. The unfortunate consequence may be that American workers currently enjoy less associational freedoms than almost any other …

Second Class For The Second Time: How The Commercial Speech Doctrine Stigmatizes Commercial Use Of Aggregated Public Records, Brian N. Larson, Genelle I. Belmas
Second Class For The Second Time: How The Commercial Speech Doctrine Stigmatizes Commercial Use Of Aggregated Public Records, Brian N. Larson, Genelle I. Belmas
Faculty Scholarship
This Article argues that access to aggregated electronic public records for commercial use should receive protection under the First Amendment in the same measure as the speech acts the access supports. In other words, we view commercial access to aggregated public records as an essential means to valuable speech. For many, however, the taint of the commercial speech doctrine is turning all “information flows” into commercial ones. This, in turn, is threatening the access to government records.

Dignity - The Enemy From Within: A Theoretical And Comparative Analysis Of Human Dignity As A Free Speech Justification, Guy E. Carmi
Dignity - The Enemy From Within: A Theoretical And Comparative Analysis Of Human Dignity As A Free Speech Justification, Guy E. Carmi
Guy E Carmi
This Article challenges the use of human dignity as an independent free speech justification. The articulation of free speech in human dignity terms carries unwarranted potential consequences that may result in limiting free speech rather than protecting it. This possible outcome makes human dignity inadequate as a free speech justification.
This Article also demonstrates why articulations of the rationales behind the argument from dignity are either superfluous, since they are aptly covered by the argument from autonomy, or simply too broad and speech-restrictive to be considered free speech justifications. As a matter of principle, the nexus between freedom of speech …
Displacing Dissent: The Role Of Place In First Amendment Jurisprudence, Thomas P. Crocker
Displacing Dissent: The Role Of Place In First Amendment Jurisprudence, Thomas P. Crocker
Faculty Publications
From the perspective of free speech theory, both of the central First Amendment values - human autonomy and deliberative democracy - require robust protection for the places and spaces in which speech and public discourse occur. This Article argues that current Supreme Court doctrine does not effectively protect speech from content neutral regulation of place. The problem is that remaining neutral is consistent with policies that would dislocate the very place for the "marketplace of ideas." Moreover, free speech theory focused on autonomy and deliberative democracy has not adequately addressed the role that place plays in furthering these values. Speech …

Who Owns "Hillary.Com"? Political Speech And The First Amendment In Cyberspace, Jacqueline Lipton
Jacqueline D Lipton
In the lead-up to the next presidential election, it will be important for candidates both to maintain an online presence and to exercise control over bad faith uses of domain names and web content related to their campaigns. What are the legal implications for the domain name system? Although, for example, Senator Hillary Clinton now owns ‘hillaryclinton.com’, the more generic ‘hillary.com’ is registered to a software firm, Hillary Software, Inc. What about ‘hillary2008.com’? It is registered to someone outside the Clinton campaign and is not currently in active use. This article examines the large gaps and inconsistencies in current domain …

Towards An Explicit Balancing Inquiry: R.A.V. And Black Through The Lens Of Foreign Freedom Of Expression Jurisprudence , Matthew S. Melamed
Matthew S Melamed
The article concerns the balancing inquiry that currently provides implicit structure to recent United States Supreme Court decisions concerning the constitutionality of laws banning cross burning, as exemplified in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul and Virginia v. Black. Part I identifies the historical antipathy towards balancing inspired by the First Amendment, simultaneously considering the jurisprudential failure of First Amendment fundamentalism and the powerful ideological hold that it nevertheless still exerts. Part II briefly introduces the motivation and means by which the European Court of Human Rights and the Canadian Constitutional Court utilize explicit balancing tests in freedom of expression …

Morse Code, Da Vinci Code, Tax Code And ... Churches: An Historical And Constitutional Analysis Of Why Section 501(C)(3) Does Not Apply To Churches, Jennifer M. Smith
Journal Publications
This article is about the United States federal tax code and churches. In particular, it discusses the interplay between section 501(c)(3) and churches in America. Section II presents a background of the history of the tax exemption for churches and the judicial holdings relative to that exemption. Section III explores the historical development of the separation between church and state, tax exemptions, and section 501(c)(3). Section V analyzes section 501(c)(3) under the Constitution's free speech and religion clauses. Section V proposes a recommendation, and Section VI is the conclusion.
