LAW 392 - Prior Restraints Seminar.

The First Amendment doctrine of prior restraint combines constitutional free-expression doctrines with injunctions and remedies. Under the topic of prior restraint, we will study plaintiffs seeking injunctions against defendants’ expression in cases involving censorship, obscenity, free press-fair trial, national security, abortion-clinic protest, sexual harassment, and libel-defamation, especially internet libel. Each student will select, research, write, and present an original paper that is intended to satisfy the upper-level writing requirement. Two hours. Rendleman No prerequisites.
