not then deny other groups the opportunity to use that facility."

ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/brandenberg-v-ohio
=================
In e-mail, a correspondent expressed the view that there was no right
to speech that advocated violence. This response is based on U.S. law.
It is a summary of the ACLU's Bill of Rights Briefing Paper #10:
Freedom of Expression. The Supreme Court's standard is that speech may
not be suppressed or punished unless it is intended to produce
'imminent lawless action' and it is 'likely to produce such action.'

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/cohen-v-california.1
=================
Definition of "fighting words"; why no right not to be offended

The definition of fighting words from _Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire_
and then _Cohen v. California_. Also, says quotes the Supreme Court
saying that there is no universal right to not hear offensive
expression.

ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/iskcon-v-lee
=================
Supreme Court orders, summaries, and opinions for case 91-155 (_ISKCON
v. Lee_) and 91-339 (_Lee v. ISKCON_).

ISKCON is the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

The Court ruled that neither by tradition nor purpose can the airport
terminals be decribed as public fora (forums). The Port Authority
airports are thus nonpublic fora, and thus "reasonable" restrictions,
such as a ban on solicitation, are Constitutional. A ban on literature
distribution, however, is unreasonable.

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/miller
=================
The Supreme Court's definition of obscenity (the so-called _Miller_
test)

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/mills-v-bd-of-ed
=================
Summary from the ACLU's Handbook _The Right of Students_ 3rd Edition
by Janet.  R. Price, Alan H. Levine, and Eve Cary. p. 61. It says
before you can be severely punished, you have a due process right to
know the specific acts you are charged with committing and the
specific rules that those acts violate.

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/naacp_v_alabama
=================
A short Netnews article by attorney Mike Godwin about anonymity.

"... [In] NAACP v. Alabama, 1958, [...] the Supreme Court held it
unconstitutional for Alabama state government to require the NAACP to
disclose its membership list..."

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/perry-v-perry
=================
Comments from the ACLU Handbook _The Rights of _Teachers_. It says
that campus mail systems (and other school facilities) can be limited
public forums. (Perry v. Perry was about an interschool mail system.
It was one of the cases that defined the Public Forum Doctrine.)

Also, a paraphrase from an ACLU handbook _The Rights of Teachers_. It
says that generally, speech, if otherwise shielded from punishment by
the First Amendment, does not lose that protection because its tone is
sharp.

Also, from p. 92, it says that there are legal limits to the oaths a
(public) school can ask its teachers to sign. [Some of these same
limits might apply to what a school can ask a user to sign as a
condition of getting (or keeping) a computer account.]

ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/rav-v-st-paul.1
=================
The Supreme Court's _R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul_ decision about hate crimes.

The Court overturned St. Paul's Bias-Motivated Crime Ordinance, which
prohibits the display of a symbol which one knows or has reason to
know "arouses anger, alarm or resentment in others on the basis of
race, color, creed, religion or gender."

Included: summary, majority opinion, 3 concurring opinions.

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/law/rico-porn
=================
Short excerpt from a newspaper story about a court decision. Also a
full newspaper story on a related case. In the first case the judge
wrote that the payoff in discouraging pornography through sweeping
forfeitures "does not justify the additional curtailment of
constitutionally protected, sexually explicit speech." The second
judge ruled the opposite. The Supreme Court has agreed to decide one
way or the other.

These are the network policy resolutions developed by the Computer
Policy Committee at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The
resolutions were approved by the Committee and forwarded to the
Chancellor.

They say (to paraphrase) 1) Netnews is important 2) No restrictions
should be imposed without wide consultation 3) The principles of
intellectual freedom developed for university libraries apply to
Netnews material 4) The principles of intellectual freedom developed
for publication in traditional media apply to computer media.
