213 Constitutional Law - Freedom of Speech - Speakers and Restraints

Welcome to the BarPass™ Podcast — the 10-minute bar prep podcast by BarPass.io. In this episode, we’re wrapping up our discussion of Freedom of Speech by focusing on public employee speech, political patronage, prior restraints, overbreadth, vagueness, freedom of the press, expressive associations, government speech, and the Speech and Debate Clause. Over the next few minutes, we’ll walk through: * when public employees are protected by the First Amendment, * the constitutional limits on government regulation of speech through vague laws, overbroad laws, and prior restraints, * the special protections afforded to the press and expressive associations, * and the distinction between private speech and government speech. This topic is highly tested because many First Amendment questions turn on a threshold issue: Is the speaker protected by the First Amendment, and if so, what constitutional limits apply to government regulation? As you listen, focus on the frameworks, balancing tests, and trigger phrases that repeatedly appear in bar exam essays and multiple-choice questions. Let’s get started.

212 Constitutional Law - Freedom of Speech - Commercial Speech, Scrutiny Level, Forum

Welcome to the BarPass™ Podcast — the 10-minute bar prep podcast by BarPass.io.
