The Court Speaks on Free Speech
Free Speech & Election Law Practice Group Courthouse Steps Teleforum
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two cases with free speech implications. In Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Court held that the speech involved in a specialty license plate was government speech, and the government can regulate its content. In Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the Court held that the content-based time, size and location regulation of a church's signage did not pass strict scrutiny. Our expert will discuss the details of the opinions and take questions from the audience.
