ACS San Diego: Weaponizing the First Amendment: Is the Free Speech Clause Becoming the 21st Century Lochner?
September 3, 2020
Noon - 1:00 p.m.
The rights bestowed to us within the Constitution face a grave danger. The Free Speech Clause is being used by corporate and right wing interests to undermine progressive efforts in areas such as Campaign Finance Reform (Citizens United), Reproductive Rights (NIFLA v. Becerra), Consumer Protection (Sorrell v. IMS Health) and Labor (Janus, supra).
Join the ACS San Diego Lawyer Chapter for a panel discussion to better understand the misuses of the First Amendment in these areas.
