======================================== SAMPLE 1 ======================================== and they are not enough to say that the governments power to exclude individual judges from the selection of these courts as to the sixth: is simply not clear to me, a judicially created right, nonetheless, so does not provide just such a claim i could conceive of no constitutional right that might be advanced as a defense it is conceivable that an individual who is willing to give these terms and is a matter of a kind that he cannot be denied access to the courts but the very purpose of the clause is to protect individual judges in trying to function as sanitized, lest the courts do not give them a meaning to the clause in effect, todays decision will go to the basic purpose of cases such as and for see dissenting opinion with this understanding join and of the courts judgment as have previously observed do not see the clause in the states constitution nor do consider the constitutionality of the states selection of its chaplain i write separately to note that, for purposes of interpreting the clause, this principle, and the generality of the states opinion, is whether or not the clause is violated by the states opinion of the court, which has been noted, reaffirmed today by the court, and by the court today, in a variety of contexts of the clause is violated when it states that the government may not create an officeholder or a commission to the office of the government * the court held that the first amendment protects the right of a public official to hold office, that is, offices, and that is, underconstitutionally "folicymaks" or "folicymaking of at a minimum, the court has said: atn internal quotation marks and citation omitted thus, in the court invalidated a requirement that a person be publicly publicly admitted to the of before being declared ineligible for the states because they violated their loyalty the court explained that finally, the court concluded that the state selection requirement was unconstitutionally vague given the language of the clause, the court concluded that the clause did not prevent from choosing its intended leaders to serve on a popular basis, and that this eligibility requirement was unconstitutionally vague it also concluded that a requirement of disclaimers to be included in registration did not violate the clause because it vitiated minimal criteria of guilt by an official and indefinite number of permissible qualifications for offices the court did not reach this issue because of the insufficiency of the evidence to support its conclusion that a is a "public figure" for purposes of determining the reason for the eligibility requirement d, at internal quotation marks and citation omitted the court therefore concluded that the proper basis for deciding this case is the requirement that the government reveal its reasons for its omission of the mails be the case appellees have failed to comply with the clause for a in order to comply with the clause i do not interpret the clause to require submission of a reply, under which they would be obliged to enter: the registration statement must be deemed "contributional grounds " think that in order to compel testimony that an official has violated his first amendment rights accordingly would postpone decision of the law until he arrives at a hearing on appellees motion to quash how, after his eligibility statement on the application for a new trial, he filed his first petition challenging the constitutionality of the registration requirement appellees and his husband brought suit under to enforce the registration requirement in their complaint alleged that he violated their first amendment right to freedom of association of the the court determined that appellants first amendment rights the court concluded that the registration requirement violates the first amendment the court rejected appellants constitutional challenge based on the first amendment rights in the court concluded that first amendment concerns weighed against the threatened exclusion of appellant from the ballot in the court invalidated the registration requirement the court did not address the validity of the registration requirement, and consequently held it facially invalid the court nevertheless concluded that the registration requirement is unconstitutionally vague and chilling, and therefore is not ripe for review under the fifth amendment appellees brought suit in the court seeking review of this criminal challenge to the election procedures appellees do not contest the validity of the registration requirement; they do contend that the provision infringes their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments the court therefore concluded that the decision to require submission of appellants signatures equal to % of the vote in the last election was unconstitutionally vague the court concluded that but the court stated: the court therefore concluded that political fragmentation and the failure of the to require submission of appellants signatures for admission to the voters are a self-wielding to substantial state interest in preserving the integrity of their political processes the court also concluded that the court noted that the registration requirement did not compel the employee to contribute to the state the amount of the compelled statement and unsuccessfully sought review by the that it therefore subjected an independent voter to additional expense and anxiety the ======================================== SAMPLE 2 ======================================== free from any restriction to those materials that violate their privacy or orientation, or that such a restriction might be justified in some circumstances but we think the court of is correct here we are not willing to seek the information that the record contains, but instead must attempt to elicit from it the question of the extent of enforcement of that policy should be answered is not whether the policy impers upon free speech or press protected by the first amendment; whether the policy might be pursued by a defense or by an unconfined prosecutor or by an unconfined prosecutor finally, although the question is close, we are firmly convinced that it is not an abstractionistic standard, the constitutionality of which should be judged on its face in the light of the more robust and robust dissemination of information and opinion likewise, the first amendment, made applicable to the states by the fourteenth, protects governmentally from invasion by governmentally neither press nor advocacy, no matter what the government ought to have information from censorship by the government itself, or under the decisions of this court, all censorship of information it is thus not at all clear, however, that this court could not previously punish because censorship of the press has been upheld legislative rule is perhaps not open to judicial review all censorship is the rule in any event, it is not open to judicial review in this case because a judicial order is one of the principal determinants of obscenity one of the press guarantees with respect to freedom of the press is that of self- censorship, not censorship or censorship, is immune from judicial review a book, as a general matter, a content-based law if this were not a fundamental right would be no defense we should say this because we adhere to the rule scores radio societys home and cable facilities understandably, a law compelling disclosure of the content of a written publication is subject to reasonable and objective requirements that it is permissible for purposes of this case is beyond peradventure, but the court does not base its conclusion on this ground the constitutionality of the statement of the court rests on the fact that in we rejected a resolution of the conflict that was not presented by the case the court found all the requirement that the statement be made the case falls within the exception for searching for determining whether there was cause for in the absence of the most fundamental qualifications for protection under the first amendment, we cannot agree with the court of that there is no basis for an evidentiary privilege the first amendment guarantees a right to jury trial and appellate review, the right of access recognized in and , the right to jury trial presents a real danger of the suppression of evidence of a public trial the conviction here is a familiar one, albeit difficult to secure, often difficult to obtain, evidence of serious prejudice finally, there can be no question that the defendant in a criminal proceeding is entitled to a fair trial and see the constitutional protection would be inapplicable to evidence of his trial and of a televised trial for this reason, we are not required to hold that a fair trial is available at the defendant was properly held before the judge or jury that he was constitutionally protected we are dealing, of course, with a right under the first amendment to defend any and all rights of defendants in their individual trial participants we need not decide in the abstract question whether a fair trial is to be held in a non-coercive sense the courts below made clear that the question is whether respondents activities conform to the first amendments guarantees of the first amendment we are not compelled to agree with that the case is for the proposition that the decision whether respondents activities violate the first amendment remains inimical to the guarantees of the first amendment an issue that is the threshold requirement is that there be a reasonably prompt opportunity to be heard on the question of whether the defendant has himself conceded as the moving party an issue that was critical to the outcome is whether there is sufficient cause to provide a reasonable procedure for the jury to decide the validity of a federal statute in our opinion, we do not hold that the rule that is ambiguous with respect to one-to-one vote merits equal protection protection under law the decision is made in the abstract, because it must be reversed by the highest court in cases which have stressed the importance of the issue, the court has not squarely addressed the constitutionality of legislative enactments, and has never addressed the constitutional issues in these cases in the court refused to look within the corridor between the states and the the language of the act statute emerges a very narrow one, namely, an interpretation of the act statute, which would cause a few infirmities the facts of both cases concern the constitutionality of a legislative act the primary purpose of this is to make clear, which is to provide a reasonable time for the decision of a legislative act in this posture of things it is essential to the decisions of this court to construe statutes so as to avoid such a result as ======================================== SAMPLE 3 ======================================== at the first hearing on his motion to dismiss an evidentiary question was presented, he stated, because he believed that this essential but "innings of justice were firmly established under the due process rule, the fact that the court was one of its stated purposes, id , at — at — and asserted a number of other arguments for the enactment of the statutes, and statements in its entirety included on charges that he believed, in their official capacity and able to maintain, and would therefore use the courts address but in these circumstances, a lawsuit is still pending and no more is required to be filed while the relief sought is requested to prevent denial of the rights to freedom of speech and press the court, to review the decision of the trial court, construed the applicable law to authorize the imposition of sanctions against anyone for advocating or teaching the or his intent to overthrow the government by force and violence in this respect, the states may legitimately act on such statements to come within the protections of the first amendment but the constitution, so construed, requires no more that this court have been willing to arrogate to a decree of the states highest court in this case we have held in the first amendment a statute requiring the submission of the motion pictures to be presented in a proceeding under the statute that included a plea of unconstitutionality states - of mm we are also not persuaded that the judgment below must be reversed the opinion for the court in this case was a brief and a construction of a of the of that prohibits only actual malice as well as actual malice at the same time, two decisions were reaffirmed in of bakkee in the majority held that the first and fourteenth amendments foreclose the states from regulating the distribution of obscene materials to juveniles and unconsenting adults speaking for a unanimous court said: at pages — at pages chief also dissent from the conclusion th —: the validity of this language is not for us, however, and shall not be made in the abstract we now pass to the question of whether or not the may enjoin the publication of obscene materials to juveniles or to unconsenting adults we hold that it does not, and therefore that the judgment is not to be set aside and the judgment of the court of must be affirmed the judgment of the court of is reversed and this cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion historically our society has gone to great lengths to protect minors from exposure to sexual activities beauharnais also held that sex, although not subjected to state regulation, is a subject within the core of the first amendment obscenity, or incitement, is a subject within the zone of the first amendment states have sought to protect not only the right of society to engage in sexual activity but also the right of parents, their servants, to be let alone in of the court stated: appeal to this prur, and hypocrisy as have commented in the opinion of the court do not think this admission a suitable one appeal to this prurient interest in the performance of a criminal charge brought against adults must be reversed and the case is remanded to the court of for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the area of obscenity law is a small area of the very body of cases, this court held in of to be within the exception of from the normal operation of our law in assessing materials such as the one in question are unprotected by the first and fourteenth amendments and the clause of the fourteenth amendments the court today announces that obscene material to be limited and limited by civil law, is a distinct category of material that could not be proscribed in a civil proceeding involving the kind of scienter requirement at page at pageand that there is no exhibition whatever of the materials found to be obscene next holding of that obscene material is not obscene was supported by the explicit requirements of our of that the court found, for example, that the definition was unconstitutionally vague, and that there was no scienter requirement that there be scienter requirement in the law or any other established legal materials, and hence that the constitutionality of the materials at issue was unconstitutionally vague we recognized in the several decisions that obscenity is not necessarily implied, and that there may be other court decisions which differ in the area of obscenity were related, with well-established standards states of and of state of we therefore held that a state could not, consistently with the constitution, constitutionally punish a person for the type of material which a state may legitimately regulate we therefore held that the first and fourteenth amendments forbade the imposition of criminal sanctions against obscene material our holding was reaffirmed in of the same opinion of five of the court in a opinion referring to the fourteenth amendment, this court, after recognizing that decisions dealing with obscene materials, are fully consistent with the doctrine that statutes dealing with obscenity must be subjected to greater and less burdensome than the statutes at issue in ======================================== SAMPLE 4 ======================================== the penalties on which the court relies it is not enough for the court to say that the statute involved here is not required by the constitution to carry out the prohibited activity, but that is, rather, the and law, and hence is not needed to address the claim that this provision is constitutionally valid as presently applied i am unwilling to say that this provision of the constitution is constitutionally valid, since it is the phrase "s specifically listed in the text that we are aware of the amendments and laws see at pages — at pages — i would also hold that the act is constitutional both as enacted, and as applied to appellees claim is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad the constitution affirmatively supports the conclusion that there are other constitutional amendments, such as the clause, and the clause of the fourteenth amendment must be construed to avoid such constitutional questions i would hold that the act is facially invalid the appellees claim is that the is both vague and overbroad, and therefore believe that both are both vague and impermissible under the first amendment appellants are four individuals and taxpayers, who, the statess ofwhich is the taxpayers, brought this suit challenging the constitutionality of the and laws as applied in a complaint filed in the court, the states the of and the secretary of and the secretary of the the complaint alleged that the violated both the fourth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution and the constitution the first two claims alleged that the violated both the first and fourteenth amendments and the constitution after an evidentiary presentation, the complaint alleged that the actions were forbidden by the fourth amendment the second included a broad challenge to the acts authority under the constitution: the court held the act unconstitutional both on its face and as applied, and as applied, and as applied the plaintiffs here, and the the the the secretary of the secretary of thethe secretary of the and the to the constitution the claims were based upon the first and fourteenth amendments the court rejected appellants argument that this court lacks jurisdiction authoritatively declared the act unconstitutional but the court held that the act did not authorize federal jurisdiction because it failed to include some provision in the act itself the fourth provision, the secretary of the state constitution, and the courts interpreting the act could find none the act granted the secretary of state the secretary of the constitution authorized a new commission to make the enforcement of the act, providing that for no delegated authority in the the secretary of the has ruled in favor of the of the validity of the regulations at issue as to the second jurisdictional grant, the court rejected appellants argument that the act was unconstitutionally vague, since it was unconstitutionally vague, and, therefore, even without the plain and plain language of the statute, unconstitutionally vague, and without a determination by the courts interpreting and interpreting the section, we would reverse the judgment of the court of appellant is a corporation owning the exclusive right to the general contractor of places of business within the meaning of the act appellant is a corporation owning the exclusive right to a number of job buildings in the building he is the sole representative of a group assembled on its property in and presently at the building appellees claim that the is an unconstitutionally vague restriction on the exercise of its right to operate the building of buildings of the company by the company appellees motion to dismiss appellants claim is entirely conjectural appellant is a corporation owning the exclusive right to provide for the general contractor of construction companies is subject to the general rule that the does not apply to eviction proceedings commenced prior to the order of the of and the order of the secretary of state in its charter under the constitution appellees also are the general contractor of the for a number of of the building they have not applied for the lease for any lease can continue or do not have the full effect of the lease on the lease buildings their purpose was to provide for immediate release from the property the shopping center, which was a privately owned shopping center, has been converted into a single structure set for the lease by the general contractor of the store, including a portion of which is set for the lease by the general manager of the building there is no reference in the legislative history either as to the or the actions of the the court held that the absence of any express statutory interpretation as to the property was not clearly made pursuant to a provision of the act, and that the persons or persons within their original lease had crossed the statutory notice the court found it impossible to understand the statutory definition of a violation of the fifth amendment as a violation of the fifth amendment the appellants challenge the constitutionality of the provisions of the act as applied, and we noted probable jurisdiction in at pages — at pages — the substantive provisions of the act apply only to federal personnel and those persons to whom the property therein might be put, or the evidence shall be reasonable as to whether the principal or principal intended to be included ======================================== SAMPLE 5 ======================================== "moneys" are not entitled to this presumption one reason is that neither of the foreign and domestic mail statute is sufficiently clear and that there are is no remedy by which could cause a reasonable probability of success on his letterboxes one reason is why the law, as applied to this case, is not sufficiently clear and precise to be denied recognition of the protection of the first amendment the first amendment provides that protection of the free flow of commerce from foreign commerce may be seriously infringed by regulations designed to protect the security of foreign diplomatic personnel the protection of citizens from foreign commerce is therefore not diminished because the primary purpose of registration is to provide a citizen with information concerning the type of currency that should be delivered from travelers from foreign countries the constitutional terms dealing with foreign domestic and domestic domestic and domestic currency, as well as the preparation and dissemination of information concerning foreign financial transactions, are irrelevant here this case does not involve foreign commerce the fourth amendment itself requires that the foreign and foreign law be fulfilled to give states citizens information which might affect or reasonably believed to be withheld from travelers as was said by secretary of state to be of constitutional significance, since the amendment is an exception to and a criminal law which is not identical to those we upheld in but the amendment therefore does not constitute an exception to the fourth amendment there can be no doubt that the amendment does not contain any requirement that it contain a precise definition of the types of currency we imposed on other types of currency, see states currency, the amendment is the exception is limited to those cases where the fifth amendment is implicated, see states when it protects a person from such a fourth amendment his fourth amendment rights see states states there can be no doubt that the amendment is in no way neutral to the protection of the fourth amendment the fourth amendment, which is protected against the most effective congressional attack by respondents, does not protect all laws of the states against the infringement of those rights the fourth amendment plainly protects the individuals from being prosecuted criminally for violating and the fourth amendment and the fifth amendment the fourth amendment covers all laws prohibiting the use of foreign financial evidence belonging to the addres the fourth amendment protects the right of the citizen to receive information and ideas, and while the protection protects the right to receive information and ideas, we do not think that the language of the amendment, standing alone, protects any right that is by definition not accorded the fourth amendment protection we thus hold that the amendment protects the right of an unconstitutioned individual to read, carry with it a right that is afforded all persons within their boundaries accordingly, we think appellants fourth amendment claims were premature due process there is no claim that the security of the diminishes its exercise in a foreign country the fourth amendment does not require the government to inspect foreign financial files the fourth amendment protects the individual from being punished criminally by a statute or by a qui tamer with possession of a minor engaging in public activity and the fourth amendment protects that right not to be punished criminally if he is guilty of a crime and promptly obtained an injunction against the defendant if he is required to disclose such statements and if they are a of of the of the fourth amendment protects appellants from having to reveal information concerning foreign financial transactions or foreign financial affairs in this respect, constitutional protection is extended to the complete protection of the fourth amendment even when it is necessary to give knowledge of the conduct that is being regulated by the statute our cases construing the fourth amendment apply as well to the cases before us the court held that a foreign government need not and also passports for travel under act of the constitution to travel was "passily available which is extremely broad the court did not express the constitutional requirements for travel to travel, but only that a passports were required passport was in peacetime whenever was withheld from bonded travelers by reason of his political beliefs the court said th page at page : in the court said: thus, in the court declared that the secretary of state was declared void over an air passports because contrary to congressional purpose is authorized of the act in peacetime passports were marked not valid for travel because travel was marked in neither case did the secretary indicate a passport, but rather a longstanding one not authorized by statute in peacetime limitations upon travel were promulgated by the court: in peacetime limitations upon travel were virtually unknown in the face of a regulation promulgated by the court this is underscored by our decisions in the secretary of state of - states travel between peacetime and travel were marked not valid for travel to travel, but indeed passports were required by statute more recently peacetime limitations upon travel were marked not valid for travel because of political beliefs in peacetime limitations upon travel were virtually unknown, and in peacetime passports were marked valid for travel to travel because of political beliefs and associations see at travel impractical travel was travel in peacetime and because passports were required in peacetime were marked not valid for travel because of political beliefs or political associations see at travel was ======================================== SAMPLE 6 ======================================== see of and state: and and to while join the opinion of the court do agree that the remainder of the balancing test is properly applied in this case, their relevance is important on the one hand, neither the court nor the court of found the scales tip the balance, and the full evaluation of the level of scrutiny is certainly an appropriate one we need only apply the analysis to this extent the courts interest in aesthetics may be compelling in these cases as well as in each context the court held that a city could not, consistently with the constitution, completely ban respondents placement of handbills within city limits is consistent with the first amendment with respect to this special protection for first amendment interests, the court has repeatedly emphasized the legitimacy of that interest see the government can do this by regulating speech that may be offensive to some citizens the court concluded that the ordinance the question presented by this case is whether the ordinance infringesfirst amendment rights of speech the court concluded that, as applied to this case, the ordinance infringed protected speech rights of political association after a holiday, the court concluded th at thus, the court held that the ordinance violated the first amendment we concluded that the freedom of speech was also implicated by the states interest in avoiding the danger of the security of the city we specifically noted that the ordinance was not related to the states interests in security and security, we expressly noted that the test was "compelling " requirement that the ordinance be narrowly tailored to achieve those interests is the "compelling governmental interest we did not, however, apply the heightened scrutiny standard to this case we have shown that the ordinance is not related to the states interest in protecting the security of the accordingly, the judgment of the court of is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court, however, specifically held that the ordinance is constitutional because it is not susceptible of "underinclusive" analysis to the determination of whether there exists at applying this standard in this case, we are told by the court, on its face, that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, and that the ordinance is facially overbroad, and thus constitutes a "narrowly drawn" reading of the court of that the court of had not applying that test to the present case first, while this ordinance is not clearly applied to this case, it is overbroad because it unconstitutionally broads the first amendment because it is unconstitutionally vague, it is invalid there are built-in" provisions to ensure the security of the streets the court concluded that the ordinance, as applied to this case, infringed the "narrowly drawn" test of to because it impermissibly broad discretion we have also applied the traditional presumption that "political activity" is unconstitutionally vague, in violation of the clause for example, in we concluded that the clause could be applied to the sort of municipal conduct that was present in this case see see also in each of these cases we held that the clause did not prohibit discrimination based on political activity in the public schools in applying the test in this case, we held that the city could not , quoting of rs the ordinance was overbroad because it , atn thus fell within the reach of the ordinance because it excluded protected expressive activity in the public schools the court concluded that the ordinances activities were irrelevant to the question of vagueness because they the provision not encompassed protected activity we disagree with the citys characterization of the issue as an examination of the legislative history and our prior decision in illustrates, there is no danger here that the kind of conduct appellants engaged in here may be prohibited—is not protected by the clause the ordinance is vague and overbroad we cannot agree with this holding because we assume that the vagueness of the ordinance will be applied to appellantss construction of the ordinance we are not persuaded by the citys characterization of the ordinance as merely a "subjective proscription " is a procedure not substanceed by the ordinance moreover, it cannot be said that the ordinance is facially vague, even that it may be unconstitutionally applied to appellants the court of for the first in this case concluded that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and that it is therefore facially overbroad the court of determined that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, but, rather, held that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, and the vagueness of the ordinance the ordinance vests in the discretion that it shall be sustained, so that it shall be struck down the ordinance vests in the police a with broad discretion that it shall be shall be shall be shall be construed as this shall be construed as it shall be applied shall be construed as it shall be construed as we shall examine or shall shall be shall be shall be shall be unlawful shall: " shall be unlawful shall be unlawful shall be unlawful ======================================== SAMPLE 7 ======================================== but is why we hold it is our duty to read history, as we read the statute, so that the statutes overbreadth should not be construed to avoid overbreadth and that the statute, as construed by the court, extends and yields factual assertions as well as opinions of law therefore, we are not required to consider whether the statutes overbreadth is overbroad, but whether it is so vague as to be readily susceptible of application as we presently have it is the first amendment, and there is no issue of at page at pageand certainly there is no constitutional difficulty at pages — at pages — the appellee is also conceded on oral argument as to the scope of the statute he argues that, having not been convicted on the charges, the prosecutions might have been invalid if the prosecutions were decided against them in both of those cases we are dealing with a statute susceptible of application to protected activity because it is vague, uncertain, or uncertain see at pages — at pages — this argument, however, overlooks a claim which, apparently not made below, is founded on the first, second, because a brief review of the proceeding might be appropriate under the statute the overbreadth doctrine is well established as a general rule by this court only if it is used in the first, fifth, and sixth amendments and other evidence in the record in its original opinion this court held that abstention from prosecution was not to be the sole remedy to make sure that the defendant did not present a substantial constitutional challenge at pages at pages a p in this case we stated: doctrine of abstention is very similar to that applied in and we have here here the classic justification for this argument was that a case may be deemed to represent a case which is not close similar to that which is presently filed and which may, to the same effect, be treated by this court as if the prosecution were barred from the prosecution we said at page at page and page in that a claim may be made subject to a limiting construction by the state prosecution should be considered, without determining the law which the prosecution is in the constitutional field the doctrine of abstention serves not of itself as have pointed out, the case is a good one, there was a large likelihood that it will be resolved only by a choice of counsel, and that the case will be decided on the merits so also are the essence of the doctrine that, upon their facts, this court should determine the availability of counsel in the first instance we are dealing here only with a preliminary injunction of not passing on the question, but simply with a preliminary injunction of the kind, issues which are appropriately raised and which are specifically raised and which are not presented in this case in this case we consider whether the statute in question is constitutionally vague as applied to the activity at which the plaintiff was arrested it is true that there is no indication of any basis for the determination on the merits whether or not the activities of the appellant here were constitutionally proscribed by the statute it is, of course, true that the kind of abusive and abusive language used in the statute is unconstitutionally vague on its face, and certainly is not sufficiently clear that the statute is facially applied to appellants so as to deprive the appellant of his constitutional rights we think it is not however, the judgment below is not in the record which might otherwise be considered on the merits under the circumstances of this case the same is true of the activities of the appellee, a corporation which operates a body of incorporation which operates a noncontributory to the member of the corporation, operated by a corporation, unconstitutionally and by a corporation, and presently operated under a direction which is employed by the corporation, has declared itself to be a -established corporation and is controlled by the corporation, is not limited to those properties which were found in other corporation for purposes of influencing the nomination of certain nonfederal persons the corporation is licensed by the state to do the business in and presently operates its grocery stores the corporation is licensed to do business infurnishes in order to engage in the business infurnishes by the supervising boards of directors in its membership to the substantial annoyance of the company or its business of selling merchandise in the state of the corporation is licensed to do business infurnishes by the supervising officer, the locus of the corporation and is authorized by the act to require submission of orders to the local police and to solicit contributions to the local police and to solicit contributions to such solicitors the guest or requested municipal services to the solicitor in the state had also supplied identical material which the state withheld from an order of the thereupon the desired to sell its products directly and lend such materials to the public in the large community of large cities and in cities and towns in order to compel decision of customer to reveal its membership in the on notified the of such a demand, and in the informed the public that it had been denied admission to the state and that it had been ======================================== SAMPLE 8 ======================================== between the crossus and those who believed that they believed that petitioners were guilty of pre-empting and discrimination against petitioners in a concur opinion noted that a on this basis believe the first amendment therefore commands that the plurality would not object to the content of petitioners contentions for a fundamental premise, the right of expressive association is not subject to full first amendment scrutiny because the government is powerless to make that policy by arbitrarily restricting expression appellee state of the fourteenth amendment certainly has a clause, like the clause, the right of association for expressive association does not raise the clause problem such a clause requires the state to make the same showing under the clause and the fourth amendment commands that government may not prohibit picketing of residences that open up on private property and that the owner and operator are permitting only people standing alone to picket their own home because the privacy interests of such individuals are implicated, we think that this court has established a constitutional minimum, and therefore fails to address the more important first amendment interests the fundamental right of expressive association is unquestionably implicated by a town that bars picketing on its premises as we noted in see states dissenting the ordinance is not, of course, overinclusive, but rather, as the first amendment , because the picketers are attempting to picket and to impose sure mathematical barriers to the orderly administration of their home indeed, the basis for this is the small size of the premises used and the place of residence of an residential neighborhood under both residential property rights, then the constitutional analysis is driven both by the nature of the premises and the importance of the home as an important element of the first amendment analysis as the court stated in a state would be faced with difficult choices if alternatives could be assessed the first amendment interests of this homeowner would be frustrated if the possessor of had a right to enter the premises and stand in the way that he did, rather than intrude by the unwilling i would reject the legitimacy of these interests if the shopping center premises were held commercial and their equivalent is to picket or to put off the company premises the courts vulnerability on this third rationale to hold that the private owner of property is not a public forum merely because the shopping center owner or occupant are not willing to close his premises like the instant case, however believe the center regulation is not a public forum the question is not whether the home is public or simply a public forum like the public building, the title to the building is a public forum i would hold that does not apply to this special situation here does not the first amendment permit the government to exclude individuals who wish to be communicative of their right to be present at its facilities if the property is not used to as a public forum it is not clear that the government has no greater power to exclude individuals who wish to be free to open on their property than it does for the common-law right of access to persons whose rights are not limited if the property is not a public forum, as the government may exclude from free expression its interest in its property, is by definition the functional equivalent of a public business, the government cannot the property, like the public building phase, is a traditional public forum i do not think there is any constitutional need to treat the property differently from the property to be considered a public forum this court has never held that property is a public forum the court stated, in the first amendment context, that the government the court has not held that must show that the has the power to exclude individuals on its property to which the shopping center owner has title to public property s property is, as the government contends, a non-public public forum far from recognizing, arguendo, the distinction drawn in the allows the government to exclude persons from its property from its property from the publi owns on a state sidewalks, like the public building, are traditional public forums at the very time the allows all speakers, as they must, to be left at a distance of four or more, to picket on its property at the very time, this court has held that the permit requirement for labor picketing on the public streets cannot be sustained under the first and fourteenth amendments of the state constitution principal element of the is the individuals right to be free of the laws within the meaning of the first and fourteenth amendments the interests advanced by the are thus similar to those promoted by the public building, and are given some by the first amendment right of the our holding that the former public building does not violate the constitution does not mean that the latter public property is not in itself a public forum the fact that the former public building in bore over the request for expressive activity does not mean that the former is in fact public a public building is a public building it is a public building, like the public building, to be held in the state the public building is a public building, created to the respective a title, ======================================== SAMPLE 9 ======================================== " focusing on the affidavits presented by this case is a question of law and fact because it is "illustailed by the courts decision in the cases as properly certified by the court i agree with the court that no court of review was required to hear appellants constitutional contentions in this case but would have preferred to hear appellants constitutional contentions but in this respect am not fully aware of the fact that the court has not been fully aware of its judicial role in applying its newly minted doctrine, and will be wary of unnecessary and unnecessary precedents concerning the language of i therefore concur in the judgment the court is the final step in applying our cases dealing with state officials and employees who, at the request of the legislature, might decide to join the courts opinion because of its uncertainty over its application to a because of the importance of the question, of the urgency of such a decision will not likely be reflected in a record which findings as to the constitutionality of , we hold that appellants contention that the constitution bars the official employees from contributing to the cost of the activities of the because believe the decision below is not dispositive would escape the courts decisions which have been based on the fourteenth amendment moreover, the decision in is not an unconditioned challenge to constitutionality, for a decision was unnecessary in order to protect the rights of the citizens, not to protect the freedom of the employees to associate for the activities of their political committees likewise, the constitutional validity of freedom of association is not merely an abstract general right, but a constitutional right which is subject to reasonable regulations, and a regulation prohibiting such exactions is subject to reasonable and equal enforcement requirements likewise, the same cannot be said about the "free zones" because they are the equivalent of a "complete" and because there is an unnecessarily great disparity in drinking prices and a high service system there is no "briefing" here appellants suggested that the maximum extent of the statutes application toviolate the first and fourteenth amendments because the might make the legislation "secular" and would further profoundly different and meritless than it would be for the same kinds of legislation to permit a union to engage in collective-bargaining activity above their own choosing but this construction is not automatically clear from the statutory language, nor could it be said that would adhere to the wisdom of its invalidation accordingly would affirm the judgment of the court of the court in expressly stated its unwillingness to add that the and in states the court in also said: on its face, the statute has been construed to prohibit discrimination which is not created by but its language is not clear and the terms of the statute are clear and precise, and that a discriminatory preference is not established by the text the court today concludes that the and the plain language of the statute represent a reasonable and merit requirement we have little doubt that the court of confined its analysis of the first and fourteenth amendments to a construction of the act in the court declared the discriminatory intent of the and in the construction of the act which penalized defendant when he enrolled in the states the court therefore concluded that the act on its face, the act is unquestionably "political regulation " the act expressly referring to authorize expressions of political views and political action committees a definition of the "political subdivision " the court construed that section to apply to the specific section in the act to reach its political subdivision the court agreed that the case the court thought that the act applied to employees, persons immunizing their members "political subdivision" from suit in this case, by reason of the effect of the discrimination the court was to create on this section a new and pernicious statute the court explained on the precedents of the holding, however, that the act had been unconstitutionally applied to ante, atn the court therefore concluded that the act was therefore not an unconstitutional law because it was not motivated by an impermissible legislative motive, and that the court had not thought the act unconstitutional the court of accordingly concluded that the act covered employees who were discharged by the locals required to give union-shop to their union representative we have no occasion here to address the constitutionality of the newly enacted act and therefore decline to decide whether the act is presently or never was in conflict with a legitimate exercise of a congressional power under the constitution we hold that the act is unconstitutional on its face and as applied to employees, not to employees, who have not become union members this court has long recognized that persons and limitations upon governmental decisionmaking are well established and limited by of the act a, and, if consistent with the prohibitions of the act, the employees freedom of expressive association see states the court has also concluded that employees may not be required to contribute to the union in order to compel their employers to contribute to the union monitor surely it is clear that a union is not protected by a in order to compel its employees to contribute to the union a union ======================================== SAMPLE 10 ======================================== and posited groups statements of canvassing have not always been superseded by original charges; they must be presumed innocent to be anticipated to be valid for a purpose to punish some unprotected conduct thus, the only protected conduct may not be tolerated because prior judicial proceedings are unlikely to be of a nature of the atmosphere in which constitutionally protected interests may be affected or the better the possibility of harm to speech or expressive activity may be, however, a basis for judicial intervention is here to protect the rights of individuals to be tried and found in courts thus, the possibility of harm to speech or the operation of a particular litigants decision to be adjudicated in a case necessarily poses the danger of retaliation for speech for these reasons believe that the judgment of the court of should be affirmed the thrust of the courts opinion in is the extent of the ability of the states to accommodate the rights of their citizens in action to lay a higher value on the rights of the people, the right to be heard within the limits of that constitutional principle is one of the most classic values of our culture and is the very essence of that freedom the corollary of the right of the people to be let alone, to be heard within the boundaries of the constitution is the centrality of the rights of the citizens, that the opportunity for propagandizing came into the rough confines of the constitutional protection the court has not been shown to have, and can be said to, that the impact on the ability of the public to attend its own message can be some magnified by its access to a particular piece of information but on the record before us this courts conclusion that because of the importance of the importance of the issues, we should not assume that the court correctly observed in re at : from this record, the court has not explored the broad problem of balancing the conflicting interests involved in this case in the court concluded that the government could not be required to provide in law enforcement counsel appointed by the nonlegislative representatives of the people urging that representatives to write the constitution contrary to the constitution and protect them from the rights of the members of that community to be sure, this court has not gone unquestioned, but have acted in cases involving compelled support of nonmembers rights, including the right of the legislators to respect the rights of the members of the to the people to be counsel, to counsel, and to the military, to administer the law see this recognition of the rights of free men in our pluralistic societies has not been followed by the simple expeditation of the first amendment, but rather, is fundamentally inconsistent with our constitutional mandate neither the right to be counsel and to counsel, nor the right to counsel, to counsel, nor do we suggest that these rights may be abridged when directed at their exercise in the performance of the legislative function in the court said: policymaking organsaking for the court, are co this court has said that the first amendment shall make no law respecting the establishment of a free press or the press scrom stated the dictum in state of contributions and, in this case to the extent that it is directed to the achievement of that goal that the power to require evidence in a public judicial proceeding is not merely expressed and is subject to judicial control but it is equally clear that the power to order evidence in a public proceeding may be exercised only when a neutral, non neutral, nonneutral, nonneutral, nonreligious reason for the exercise of the fourteenth amendment the court has not met the burden of demonstrating that a constitutional rule with more generality in a noncriminal context is not met by the facts revealed in this record, as the court notes at the very outset of the litigation, as in the other areas of the legal issues, this court has adopted a functional approach to the fundamental nature of the right to counsel in a criminal proceeding in for example, the court upheld the right of a newsman to appear on the public air during a noncriminal proceeding: the court also noted that when an accused is of the greatest relevance to the criminal trial, there can be no conviction for the defendant for the selection of counsel in the court said: co in the exercise of that care and the fairness of the trial process, there are certain safeguards to protect the right of the accused to a fair trial, a right constitutionally guaranteed to the accused the constitution guarantees that this trial is a vital constitutional safeguard the of was designed to protect the rights of the accused only when it was counseled, in the same manner as the court noted in in the court affirmed the right to counsel of the accused to close preliminary proceedings to the publi this right was deemed appropriately considered in and it is to be considered in the light of the principles this court has made clear, see state of th at — state of state of the case a conflict arises between the parties to the proceeding in this case, the case was argued at the close of the trial on the merits; ======================================== SAMPLE 11 ======================================== of new lessons the court concluded that had exceeded its authority by finding that the as a result of its decision by a bare majority of the court of for the sevent passed on the constitutionality of the clause, but not the portion of the clause required submission of the clause to the government and enjoined its enforcement the majority stated, however, that the clause compelled the appointment of an chaplain for later use of the office rejecting the claim that because the was a corporation as a private civic association, and therefore not a government, the clause would require us to extend the constitution to such a holding in our constitutional holding concerning applying these principles to the instant case and thus argue the distinction lacks constitutional significance the court of applied the test enunciated in and held that a government practice requiring the application of the building of the be permitted to have a tree a political symbol and that the placement of the building by the was a government of the court of thus did not examine claim of unconstitutional government action, for we noted that it is necessary to inquire whether the government action was impermissible we noted that the court had focused on the claim that application of the first amendment to the government activity sought to be shown by the we noted es provision that the government could not be compelled to make private property an sanctuary for political speech and debate was necessary to protect the freedom of political expression he was also not required to the government for purposes of the first amendment, because there was no requirement that the government act "publicly or other" be permitted there is no requirement that appellee be permitted to affirmatively assert that his right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures is an issue within our decision in states there was no reason for denial of certiorari we recognized that does not present a conflict between interests of the highest order-applied by the government and those of the states we therefore need only look within the order, for, as the court of noted, the order imposes a heightened review upon first amendment rights of particular importance to our public offices the special prosecutor seeks to demonstrate that the of is a corporation with a corporate interest in the business conducted on a number of occasions he seeks to do no more than urge submission to a corporate form, he does not urge that the corporation must accept the endorsement of its customers by solicitations within the reach of the prohibition on state taxation of his property and is subject to state regulation if this is true, as appellees argue, there is no violation of the state rule, and we noted, that they need to establish their objections to the application of appellees contend, in this court, that the only first amendment issue is which is presented by this case is whether a statute prohibiting the use of the flag infringes appellees rights under the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution, and therefore is pre-empted by the constitution the judgment of the court of is therefore at the outset we consider whether appellees first amendment argument must fail appellees and the states the state of have a long standing interest in regulating the use of the flag by a traditional political symbol appellees and their amici urge that for states by the statesthe power to make distinctions on the basis of political expression is limited by the first amendment, and the first amendment, because the special prosecutor cannot argue that the states flag law is unconstitutionally vague, and therefore the kind of "secular symbol" used in it is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite appellees first contention, and we agree, that under states the power to make distinctions on the basis of political expression within the reach of the first amendment is not limited to determining the constitutionality of appellees have a quite different situation they urge, first, that the lower courts and this court have previously held that the first and fourteenth amendments protect the integrity of their election processes, and that the states are constitutionally disabled from a burdensome requirement in interpreting the first amendment appellees also challenge the decision of the court which is the highest court of the state appellees claim is that their case is not moot and will not be mooted in their opposition without a trial on this claim, appellees have not attempted to challenge collaterally their earlier rights in this case, however, because their alleged discriminatory burning may not constitutionally be prosecuted under we therefore conclude that they have alleged the violation of the fourth amendment, and that, as appellees challenge to the state treatment of their challenge to the court of determined that both statutes do not violate the first and fourteenth amendments we noted probable jurisdiction and we affirm * appellees first challenge the constitutionality of of the of provides: the court of held that appellees challenge to the constitutionality of the statutes are claims under the first and fourteenth amendments and under the first and fourteenth amendments the first amendment provides: the first amendment provides that shall make no law respecting an ======================================== SAMPLE 12 ======================================== lit and allege they must be convicted under a statute ======================================== SAMPLE 13 ======================================== court the principles announced in these cases are whether the act requires for that reason to find another way in which a private cause of action is brought about by a private cause of action for a declaratory judgment concerning a state court lawsuit since this is a wonderful expansion of the law of standing, and hence not a lawsuit to determine a case, the importance of the same issue to which was consolidated for determination by the court in petitioner was the manager of the of he was elected by the and was elected by the the had a statutory complaint concerning the complaints, and its duties was necessary to adjudicate the complaints in the complaint on which motion to be brought, and a general answer was not received by the parties petitioner was elected at a noncommignment agreement with the he demanded a discharge from the office, and the agency of the state agency within the district office, he also directed that the appointee, be elected by the of the state, and also committed a request for further legislative appointment as a delegation to the and for possible judicial appointment of personnel to appear at the wlf asked the states and the state to adopt the provisions of the constitution, and did not do so the referred the constitutionality of the plan was submitted on the contested allegations and affidavits in the statement to the which inquired into the complaints and argued the forms of an executive privilege which, as a part of the constitutionality of the federal act, was intended the referred to the immunity from state prosecution in the federal court by the witnesses the did not participate in negotiating the delegation and the duties of state law enforcement officers at the very beginning of the investigation the were attempting to assert their immunity against the state the matter of the investigation was submitted on stipulated facts which, among other things, recited that the federal court was called upon to enforce the constitution and laws, and the there cited no legislative immunity for authorizing the issuance of them thepre-incrimination clause of the constitution, exemplifies the same kind of congressional inquiry as that now being initiated under this clause the immunity doctrine may be invoked only if a necessary and proper means are available by which the government and its officers may not be compelled to make a choice of its own or for a variety of reasons at pages — at pages — the court, however, was sensitive to the serious implications of this practice by a laymen when he wrote, arguing that it is not subject to adjudication and that a decision on them was wrong we are told, however, that the court of was exercising its own first amendment powers it is that the same doctrine has been applied to the immunity of the law see states at pages — at pages — we are urged to apply the doctrine to the present case; that decision is not this doctrine applies equally to a determination of a federal-state immunity which the constitution accords the president under the clause, a decision on a petition alleging that a a is held to have been indicted, has been made for purposes of the constitutional grant of immunity is the immunity of a prosecution which has gone before the immunity statute petitioner also attacks the immunity statute on the grounds that it is so unconstitutionally vague and indefinite as to violate the principle of separation of the and clause that there is no reason to think that the term fifth amendment, the fifth, and the fifth amendments will not be applied to the government under the cloak of government as well as the fifth, the fifth, and the fifth although this proposition may be useful as a more general basis for judicial protection in interpreting the constitution, a is sufficiently clear to confer immunity upon a defendant when the law, by its terms, clearly compels a defendant to assert his fifth amendment rights at the limit of a federal law see states states states states when enforcement proceedings are initiated, their function commands a court will not and must not and will not be delegated to an administrative board the law will be a part of the executive function and is not a model of administration as if it is were that of the or with its attendant enforcement powers their application for immunity in this area is a matter of degree, and is perhaps best evaluated as a part of it chief in the law has not been made a by the court, and in this case the sanction of a decision by a must be judged by due process and by a constitutional amendment if a publication is classified as a these-day, and if a fired is investigated, it is the basis for a determination whether an investigation or opinion constituted by the executive privilege in question is the question on which certiorari is sought to be adjudication is of itself a relevant and is held by the court to be questions of separation of powers the constitution, however, does not go so far as to excuse the authorizing of the to read the constitution and obtain immunity for a report or writeatory in such a way as to avoid autocratic rule we are urged, therefore, to hold that this act does not apply to the testimony in ======================================== SAMPLE 14 ======================================== would create no separate constitutional difficulty rather, it is a courts constitutional duty to respect the constitutionality of state statutes requiring that a state and local officials provide adequate notice of the charges against a state claimant before proceeding with timely notice, that the representations alleged in the complaint was false and was knowingly false and had a tendency to incite a riot to violence, and that the statements at issue were knowingly or recklessly false, both cases are controlling we think the appropriate test to be applied here will be stated the kind of pernicious combination of these cases is that the statements are actionable without the help of the trial court in denying the motion for a preliminary injunction is not to be considered by the court as strictest the test, but is wholly warranted by the limitations on our power of trial, which should be applied equally to the facts and circumstances presented by this case, because the decision presents a federal question that is the sole element in the suit we are not persuaded that the issues may be decided on a clean slate the case is different than that from one in which a full record of proceedings is presented by the states court of ofwhich also denied the motion for a preliminary injunction nor is there any dispute whatsoever that the court of held that the court of held that the case is not properly fit to that was present in the present case, and that therefore the judgment below is subject to review by this court of of the importance of the issue there is no need to be heard on this record as we are not sitting in this court, nor is there any dispute about its existence the judgment below is reversed and the cause is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion the question presented in this case is whether appellant, a non-jurisdatory to conduct a primary part of the act during the primary day, violates the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution we note first that appellant does not have a personal stake in this proceeding we do not know, nor do we, except that in this respect a case involving a criminal law must be held that the act is unconstitutionally vague such a cases are if they appear to distinguish between the kind of conduct that is constitutionally protected and the conduct of the party seeking to accomplish its cause, or the conduct of the party seeking to return to the judicial proceeding here a statute regulating the conduct of individuals or in their personal activities is applied to appellants—the criminal penalty of some and a $ fine, or both we deal then with the kind of motion that is presented by appellants frontal attack upon the constitutionality of the same and the forms of procedure that we recently invalidated we think the court of properly could have declined to take this step the court below found that the act was impermissibly vague and indefinite, and therefore affirmed we consider first the appellees argue that the act is unconstitutionally vague, vague and overbroad, vague, and, in light of and the first part of the act is the states deterrent effect upon protected activity is not constitutionally justified, the act is said to be facially unconstitutional since it regulates constitutionally protected activity in a accordingly, the judgment of the court of is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion appellant was convicted of violating a park ordinance that prohibited demonstrating on the fairgrounds to display political literature on the streets of in order to distribute on the fairgrounds the court granted the writs of certiorari and vacated the judgment of the court of the door-to-door neighbor at both was a small area in the city of the ordinance was applied to appellants a permit to demonstrate their intent to cause a public announcement of their meeting meetings in the of appellees also sought to make speeches to be made in the public building of the appellees asked the police officers not to allow the distribution of leaflets to their pariparians, and the crowd that they had asked the police to demonstrate their reasons for doing so the further claimed that the ordinance was unconstitutionally vague, and restrained and therefore the state police from enforcing the traffic regulation appellees pleaded guilty to the charge but pleaded guilty to the charge the court of affirmed appellants conviction the court of sustained the ordinance, finding on the record that the permits were unconstitutionally vague and indefinite and that there had been no rioting or provocative or disorderly conduct the court of concluded that, without the traffic problems presented by the crowd, appellant could not constitutionally be convicted for violating the ordinance on the ground that there was no evidence of intent to cause a public disturbance or disturbance on the part of the we noted probable jurisdiction before the enactment of the - amendments raised constitutional questions we hold that appellants activities in this respect violate the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution the -first amendment provides that the act shall be construed to create substantive constitutional rights of individuals in a city of specifically defined situations and defined circumstances shall be broadly construed but this case does ======================================== SAMPLE 15 ======================================== a time and opportunity through this courts present court to consider the other considerations here, but is rather engaged in an effort to promote the principle of judicial restraint to be the present opinion of the court has stated that these precedents may be set forth as embodying the courts stated purposes accordingly think the court of correctly determined that the case presented the case was properly certified under law the ordinance is one of the guidelines set out in the opinion for the court in the present case, we are told that the court of failed to apply the nonfederal doctrine in this case at the outset of its motion to dismiss is a small lobbying organization known as the of thewithheld a suit to enforce the constitution the facts alleged in the complaint are undisputed that the officeholders paid a fee of approximately $ a representation of approximately $ a representation of approximately $ a representation of approximately $ a representation of about $ a representation of about $, a representation of about $ in and one of about $, a representation of about $, in it is alleged that is a corporation maintaining a perimeter of solicitude for the functions of these officials without speculating on other possible claims that is unconstitutionally indistinguishable from it violates the first amendment, the court holds that a corporation may solicit contributions to a large number of of the financial contributions to a national political committee in order to maintain a record of personnel appointments for federal office, and may solicit funds for its proposed activities the corporation considers its proposed method to provide its facilities it offers its funding pursuant to a rule of administrative hearings, by a federal commission, to obtain the accepted contributions in federal funds since the finds that it has established a number of noncontributions intended to be authorized by the act to address the constitutionality of those provisions, we conclude that b is not an exception to the general rule of soliciting funds contributions and expenditures are not limited to those that do not carry with the necessary funds as the court of observed d, at these limitations, the court reasoned, must be set at least if the funds are given to the noncontributors and expenditures the court of thus applied the limitations of the act to the circumstances of this case are not present the judgment of the court of is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court today decides a case not by the court, and requires the conclusion of the court that a regulation prohibiting in the post, atthat is, with an exemption from regulation prohibiting in the post-jeopardy case a candidate in elections not covered by the act that decision is overruled by the court in a brief per curiam opinion: second, it is particularly important to note that a regulation prohibiting in the post-jeopardy case merely requiring in-depth campaigning within days of the primary day of the legislative week would have an unconstitutional effect upon the rights of the petitioners to now challenge at the outset, it is relevant to note that in we rejected a citys solicitation of to solicit contributions to a specific candidate for federal office and the public funding of his campaign for federal office was inapplicable because such solicitations violated a provision of the act the same cannot be said of the statutes actual applications as to the post, at __-__, where an individual cannot thwart directly by committees or by the guilty of money, there are adequate alternative purposes of any such regulation under the first amendment third, as a general rule, there are serious questions as to what is a legislative determination, and thus be made to depend upon whether the money is being used to support the candidate and whether a later participation by an individual or group in the political process violates first amendment rights i am not persuaded that our prior cases dealing with nonprofit contributions by a parent or corporation in a school environment do not prevent the court from holding that the state of is a compelling state interest and that there is no such demonstration here i adhere to the belief that, in the private sector, the statutory provisions under which he stands convicted violate this courts opinion in this holding, however, does not authorize any type of regulation under the first amendment it does make criminal the mere private use of money in the private sector, and an expenditure of money in support of a religious enterprise, in violation of the first amendment and the first amendment and the act as applied we are also told by the realities of a broader reading of the statutes purpose to protect the health and welfare of the pupils in andthe court said: " states ex rel barnette at concurring in judgment, and the tax-raised funds provide a minimal educational offering per-livinglement and the corresponding need of the pupils for these reasons, we are not persuaded that the act is facially neutral and furthers this religious purpose the courts choice to enter the act is a matter of degree, and should be blind to the courts pronouncements to make a few observations i do not mean to indicate, however, that government aid ======================================== SAMPLE 16 ======================================== with these other provisions these provisions are more important than those we have recently found unconstitutional in a state of foreign financial transactions the provisions, as they are, are of the sort involved here os inmates are organized to enforce their own laws, and they are likely to enforce them we are not required by the constitution to do so, however, because these provisions are necessary to enforce it the task of construing the legislative purpose is no different from the approach we have given to the cases we have condemned, and do not appear to us to be dealing with a claim of equal treatment in cases dealing with the constitution the reach of the clause of the constitution is invoked to put the scope of the clause of the fifth amendment against claims of denial of recognition to the inmates there is no constitutional objection to the refusal to apply that clause to any claim of equal treatment in the prison context the policy was promulgated by the and is not to operate as a restriction on or independent of the rights of inmates to be heard on conditions in the jail the revises regulations governing the conduct of inmate inmates, inmate activities are permitted only if they are secured by the present or any presumption that they are deemed by the officials should be permitted to do so the of adopted provides: finally, the of the challenged the regulations at issue in these cases, the regulations, as modified, limit changes in substance, the practices of the and require denial of recognition to inmates in certain conditions and inmate correspondence, and generally permit denial of admission to such materials the regulations at issue concern the validity of those regulations which may apply to such materials as the correspondence between the inmate and the visitor, denying recognition to women of the prior to the and of the general public or the press, and denial of admission to the and of the press to persons within the prison after an interview with an outside person the prohibitions on correspondence between and are permissible so long as they apply only to inmates who were not members of the press and are permitted to do so the regulations at issue in these cases do not purport to limit the inmates broad discretion propellingly, the court of noted that the applicability of the "compelling state interest" standard of obscenity has not been altered, for we hold that the challenged restraint at issue in these cases is unconstitutionally vague there is no basis for discussion of the "fundamental importance" of the interest alleged by appellants in having the facility placed to their the institution the regulations under challenge are sweeping in pertinent part: to the regulations defining the terms of the inmate involved are of general applicability in the other case dealing with inmate mail, the court of construed as making clear that the inmate retains one, and the warden of the institution, from the institution by virtue of the warden authorized by the institution: appellants concede that in this court emphasized that there is no ground for these assertions i do not read the regulations in the constitutional terms prior toappellants contend is a claim of constitutional rights, under a standard which the process has been followed by the court in and of this court for over a decade, see and they contend that the regulations violate the fourth amendment the court in recognized that the guarantees of the first amendment, no less than the guarantees of the first amendment, apply to all facilities of general public accommodation n in this respect, the cases emphasize that the "carey records" doctrine itself, see id , atequating a "generalized standard" to those constitutional rights which a prison regulation is always subject to challenge by the press in this case our first amendment rights, like those of the general public, are of general importance prisons are committed not only to the needs of individual defendants, but also to the courts for ends of enforcing the "careal and needs" rule the court held that these protections were "unadministrable and jail sentence or "arbitrary " in the court invalidated a prison regulation requiring all holders of the prison to be housed in the institution to observe the dictates of their faith the court also found that the marriage regulation violated the fundamental rights of the press in the prison context the court of relied on this courts precedents interpreting this case as involving a right of access to judicial proceedings, and it is not clear that appellants here i would therefore hold that, as applied to this case, the limitations upon our decision in and are permissible under the constitution appellants therefore suggest that our decision in this case is inconsistent with our precedents the courts power to protect itself derives from the express language of the statute the court has long been confined to interpretation of the first amendment in its ordinary sense and is of exceptional significance there can be no doubt that the primary function of this statutory statute is to grant and the prisoner the right to confront witnesses if we took that step, the inmates are free to confront other inmates in the rooms and do receive reasonable visitors to persons or packages, or receive reasonable visitors from persons ======================================== SAMPLE 17 ======================================== effect and on its constitutionality is declared invalid as vague, and the court is not to be given no weight in ascertaining its law and its constitutional applicability there is no need to offer any definition of the term technically vague in its applications, nor will there be any doubt about the vagueness of a state law which, on its face, would subvert fundamental law i do not think it necessary to say, save as it is written, to state the background and congressional facts concerning this case that a vague statute unconstitutionally vague on its face is unconstitutionally vague, or, as the court correctly observed, has not been done in this case as construed in a state court the ordinance, however, does not state a ripe constitutional challenge in the absence of an explicit limiting constructions, it is possible that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague on its face, as well as an impermissibly vague as applied appellants attack the ordinance as facially as vague, and therefore appellants have failed to raise that claim appellants also challenge the constitutionality of the ordinance under the first and fourteenth amendments the first exception to the ordinance is that certain aspects of the ordinance are unconstitutionally vague, unless clearly and unambiguous, dealing with "fighting words or otherwise, and not also vague with respect to fighting words moreover, it is possible that those covered by the ordinance may constitutionally be vague when faced with the ordinance without even vague, vague and uncertain standards one exception to the ordinance in and is to "fighting words" be defined broadly indeed, this ordinance is not unconstitutionally vague it vitiated on its face, though, also makes a criminal prosecution of those who use the constitutionally vague and indefinite terms of lack of adequate notice of what conduct is, therefore, unconstitutionally vague a person making oral oral charges of unconstitutionality may not be punished for, as he did in a local meeting held that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague see of state of state of second, a defendant may be convicted if he presents a facial challenge to the ordinance by showing that he presents a facial challenge to the ordinance as applied see states moreover, the first exception to the general rule is that any ordinance, whether applied to protected materials and therefore subject to the time,construed by the court, is void for vagueness the ordinance as applied to depictions of constitutionally protected speech is distinguishable from the ordinance invalidated in there are certain procedural difficulties with deciding abstract questions in deciding constitutional questions, but those unavoidable contacts do not establish that, in the absence of a limiting construction by the police, constitutionally unprotected conduct, a particular law is unconstitutionally vague nor do the ambiguity of vagueness require a departure from well-settled doctrine the city has not purported to apply the law in a manner that broadly forbids anyone to "fighting words" to be punished to be "fighting words" that is not defined in the ordinance itself, and the ordinance is limited to fighting words depending on whether there are a substantial number of meanings that might be constitutionally protected, see states one of the considerations that can be interpreted by a particular analytical entity to be of the same emolute to be used words in the public for purposes of applying the law this exception to the general rule is therefore appropriate in cases dealing with the rights of individuals, not the rights of those with whom the limitations of in the first amendment context the court has placed limitations on the scope of the ordinance see of i deem it appropriate to note that the freedom of a person to "out his mind" and freedom of another kind city of states separate opinion of these principles, as well as the particular vulnerability of "outrageousness" in the community of speech and press, are not constitutionally impermissible by its terms, the ordinance infringes on protected speech of a sort the court has emphasized that the freedom to engage in speech may not be abridged for these reasons, the court has adopted a newly drafted reasonable time, place, and manner test to be applied to the kind of act intended statutes prohibiting breach of duty do not violate the first amendment simply because they pass "sh odious law " the court concludes that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, and, accordingly, remand the cause to the court of for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court treats the act as "statute" because it is based upon the content of the kinds of language that it poses to the plain reasonable application of the ordinance to the conduct of the individuals within who is convicted of it the court seems to think that the act is unconstitutionally vague i do not read the act as "broad" and therefore would invalidate it without striking the provision of the ordinance is not unconstitutionally vague whatever is " definite" in the provision of the ordinance, the reasonable-cause determination is ======================================== SAMPLE 18 ======================================== , we think it is the constitutional principle of freedom of expression, and we recognize it is clear that the danger of such clear and present danger is to be evaluated as extremely speculative, and does not constitute a violation of the fourth amendment we recognize that the states have an interest in regulating conduct, and in avoiding controversy is perceived by the fact that it is shielded by the first amendment as a self-interest" and to assert that the first amendment protects the right of expression were it otherwise, a party seeking election, can file a declaration of the constitution, and comply with the state law by merely requiring the sheriff to assume the character of the candidate to hold the voter, the state itself would have a less realistic likelihood of success on the voters than the see also at restriction on voterss requirement that the write-in voters be permitted to have one political shows does not violate the first amendment because it will not be made less if the voters are allowed to participate but we are not foreclosed from holding that we must refrain from invalidating every aspect of a state law that requires that the write-in voters be permitted to participate in the process of choosing their candidates for the legislature the pluralitys requirement is necessary to guard against that asserted state interest the pluralitys interest in protecting its right to vote it is well established that the freedom of association is essential to the integrity of political campaigns in addition to serving this interest, the court in this case assumed that the states have a vital interest in ensuring the election of their own citizens the court held that the requirement in the act as applied to members of the must be subjected to unduly burdening the right of association the court also found that compelling the state to justify its burden of proving that all voters have a at the requirement that voters and candidates reveal their loyalty to the party and its candidates is an injury to theright of association protected by the first amendment the court found that the of neither of these interests was found to be compelling the court noted that rights to associate for political purposes and candidates are by definition not overbroad and that they are totally overbroad and need not be denied or terminated by the requirement that they be registered voters the court thus concluded that the states asserted interest in protecting the integrity of its elections was compelling and that it was not the court of noted that our decision in was compelling we must also consider whether the provision of the act is severable from the remainder of the act that generally bars judicial proceedings from modifying the act in neither norhowever, did we consider whether we have jurisdiction to hear these cases the court of reasoned that it would make no sense to ignore the plain language of the act, nor would it state that the remainder of the act are too broad to understand that a judgment of substance to the plain meaning of this act is particularly applicable to those cases and therefore not necessarily precludes judicial intervention of the federal courts in this respect, we apply our present statutory holding in the two cases only if we do not think the presumption is complete and does not violate the fifth amendment in the circumstances of this case we are in general agreement withdining to the concept of standing, we conclude that the fifth amendments judgment in this case and its applicability require us to hold the act unconstitutional freedman of the act of we note that the constitutional requirements for standing set forth in the act are not to be cast aside under the first and fourteenth amendments section a of the act provides in relevant part: the guarantees of the fourteenth amendment to cl and of the constitution commit the states equal protection of the laws and laws of the states by virtue of their fifth and fourteenth amendment rights the constitution gives the states wide power to classify and approve state policies and it does not require states to provide for their citizens a safe home and recreation program, and its rights are not created by the constitution itself the constitutional command of equal protection is stated as follows: if, in its recognition of the states may enforce them or their other laws and regulations under the clause, they may not provide for equal protection of the laws freedman of at page at pages state the constitution also provides that the act also provides for equal protection of the laws section is made clear by numerous cases, some of the petitioners, at the time his filed his complaint and suggested that the phrase in the act could be so construed that it barred constitutionally protected activity and protected activity because of the failure to include a claim of unlawful incrimination he also expressed his reluctance to attempt to assert that he could not constitutionally be convicted of the good on the part of the of his refusal to obey these regulations are not to be applied indiscriminately to and may be applied against anyone simply because they are not to be adequate notice to the alleged contrary indeed, the protection afforded to the first amendment by government is not limited to to those that are not wholly recognized by the amendment see states and we are dealing here with a case dealing with a right to reasonable notice to suspected of ======================================== SAMPLE 19 ======================================== is the section for first amendment purposes because it contains a provision compelling interest the first amendment is applicable to the states through the fourteenth, and is the principal piece of legislation known as the act itself but the first amendment does not apply to the states through the fourteenth amendment the clause was described in the legislative debates the sixth amendment does not mention the fourteenth amendment or the fourteenth amendment the fourteenth amendment does not apply to this case, there is no reason to question it the fourteenth amendment applies to the states and and the states by the fourteenth we do not question that the fourteenth amendment extends to the states by reason of the fourteenth amendment the constitution, which in terms speaks of the fourteenth, protects fourteenth amendment rights of state employees and the states more specifically, the clause protects those rights of citizens, not private employees because is in a state of the country with a fourteenth amendment we hold that does not provide the sixth amendment rights of private employees to employees in private or private sector of their colleges, and, if there is no constitutional right to private schools, and does not provide for the fourteenth amendment the constitution confers no right on the members of the community to express their views on matters of public concern while public schools and private schools perform a vital public purpose their designation of a states news media is a far different type of close association than private schools when the state enacts a constitutional right, its exercise of that right is unlike, i private schools and like private schools are governed by the constitutional rights of free speech and equal protection guarantees in the first instance of those rights private schools are governed by the first amendment as well as by the fourteenth amendment like the rights of conscience at stake in this case are the rights of the public, beyond the control of the schools, to the detriment of the schools the concern is that the very same the education of children is not become the subjects of our modern system of ordered liberty we cannot escape the strictures of the fourteenth amendment by recognizing the fourteenth amendment as one of the greatest value to the schools we do not expect the states to keep their law of the sort that is protected by the fourteenth amendment the right to education is the right to say, not the right to say, is one of the few; the right to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances is not abridged while petitioners and here are asserting rights on their face, we have little doubt that they may not be made part of the rights secured to them under the first and fourteenth amendments they must be given equal protection and opportunity to be heard on their claim state of and the reasons for its action are no less true in this case, however, since here they are given no opportunity to be heard on their claims in state court they are given no opportunity to be heard on their claims, and thus are not without a remedy in this case petitioners and hereinafter respondent members of the and the local union, filed suit in the states court for the ofseeking a declaration of the actthe companyseeking the company to abridge the right to engage in anti-union activities to violate the act and of the act as amended et seq the complaint alleged that the act violated a of the act by threatening the company to, among other things, a company to compel employees to cease-employee union members to withdraw the application for an injunction of the act complaint alleged that the act violated a of the act by threatening the company to, and threatening to, the company to, the company to, and the employees in certain connection with, the company the complaint further alleged that the act violated a of the act as amended c, which authorizes the secretary of the act to, and also, as well as andargets the court of for the of accepted this constitutional claims, and also held, that the section infringes on a protected right, specifically granted by the act with regard to the statutory claims, we hold that the act does not violate the first amendment if it violates the first amendment we accordingly begin our examination of the statutory claims the fifth amendment claims are both substantial and deserving of scrutiny under the fourth amendment the claim, however, rests on familiar history in our decisions the first amendment protects freedoms of speech and press for a right to be heard on the premises of its premises there are significant differences between that freedom of speech and other constitutionally guaranteed liberties, and the freedoms of the press the activities of the owner or occupant of property may not be regulated by standards even though they may be reasonably related to the needs of a single office property of the same type may not be protected by the constitution as a different form of liberty or property or liberty secured by the law may constitutionally authorize the states to make certain propertys places of public accommodation, and may not deny a tenant the opportunity to be heard on his property if he violates them a discriminator might also be interfered on his way ======================================== SAMPLE 20 ======================================== in the circumstances of this case, we have the opportunity to apply our precedents to hold these cases controlled by the particular background of our constitutional law, which is that of a legislature, or an executive official to initiate litigation by the government merely by reason of his personal belief we do not sit, however, to base our interpretation of the constitution on the assumption that there is a first amendment right to a private school, or even that there is no constitutional right to the law without violating the fifth amendment the first amendment does not limit the right of access to the premises as we said in at the same time, we reaffirmed the reasoning of the court in there said: atn even if there is some constitutional right to place information on the premises that they might be used, there is no constitutional right to decline to allow a private school to do that information any such right would be subject to no more and less than the normal duty of deciding private information about private information we may not, however, extend any right of access by holding that the government may not do the court of thus erred in holding that these cases are not of the importance of access, for purposes of this case, is a preliminary matter the fact that the case is one not is immaterial the court held that the fact that the defendants had violated the obscenity laws ofand therefore held that the defendants were protected by the first and fourteenth amendments, and that petitioners were afforded no right to the press and therefore were not entitled to the relief they sought the defendants thereupon and also sought to have the injunction prayed for a preliminary injunction on the merits the court rejected the request, and did not obtain preliminary relief the court, therefore, dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction while the first amendment claim was advanced by petitioners, a group of federal taxpayers—, and the of the —was originally included in a suit by the general taxpayers against the state before proceeding, the taxpayers filed a suit in a court to secure an injunction against expenditure of their funds under of the constitution and under the first and fourteenth amendments and of the constitution the first case is there is a declaration that a corporation is organized under the laws ofand under the laws of petitioners first amendment claims are both of the kind of freedom which this court has adhered to in and the second case is involving the right of the to obtain revenue for its customers since the taxpayerss money and since the right to have become a citizen, we are not here confronted with a challenge to the constitutionality of the tax laws the cases are not in point in we held that in such cases a plaintiff may not have a property interest in his place of business import title to the claim of accrued property is the essence of a personal right and it is the right to be close to the claim of a home import incidence of the same kind of interference is to produce in terms of the same kind of reputment and a substantial personal interest in the same kinds of material, a right which may include physical or emotional reactions or "mental or physical harm which may be taxed by the exercise of the same rights the same principles apply to decisions involving the kind of day-to-day restraint on speech because the litigation concerns a substantial personal injury, and because the decision not to rehire a defendant for engaging in speech, the court held that the plaintiffs could not constitutionally be compelled to produce evidence showing that their claim was in fact based upon a property interest in the same property the plaintiffs thus could not constitutionally be required to provide proof of any degree of substantiation for the nonmoving party of their claim, and in no case could the reasonably be required to make such proof show that the dispute was non truly private or even noncoercive neither can the fact that there was any sort of proof here and that the issue of illegal self-censorship was not submitted to a trial court in other cases involving a claim of punitive or traditional economic or commercial value because we conclude that the defendant has alleged a violation of the act, we reverse the judgment of the court of and remand for a determination of whether the act is consistent with the first amendment several cases emphasize the importance of freedom of speech in this court reaffirmed the right to interstate travel within the meaning of the fourteenth amendment, and reiterated the right to travel abroad, expressly stated in and in states the court said: the right to travel was deemed not expressly included within the constitutional freedom from the right to travel were held insufficient to include a right to travel; in states the right to travel was expressly recognized as and the right to travel was expressly recognized in of the court concluded that thus, in state the court emphasized that the right to travel was a personal right protected from abusive solicitations by federal officials and in we held that a statute requiring all employees in the state to obtain a license before seeking an abortion was supported by the evidence presented in this case that ======================================== SAMPLE 21 ======================================== , and reinforces them the constitution protects those who promote initiative competition, a measure is not "readily struck but at least to some extent or are based on the special circumstances of their constitutional challenge to its constitutionality that this is not the proper approach is no less true now but is it well to say that judicial opinions are not always, and are not, always, as fully as free from challenge, to the disadvantage of the judiciary to the premature task of interpreting a constitutional provision the court said, ibid , that a candidate is not a "initiated suit" within the meaning of a and that he is a "nader appellant the court determined that the affidavits supported the inference that they were granted on behalf of their political opponents, that their claim was one respecting the overthrow of the government by force and violence because they amounted to speech the court then determined that the affidavits supported the inference that they had some element of "intraparty feuding" and reiterated the judgment that the court was not prepared to defer to their convictions and dismissed the case because of its holding in there was no basis for any further inference at the preliminary proceeding the record here makes clear that theexpanding evidence goes to a statement of signed by a taxpayer who is not and who is opposed by the public as well as the private citizen in the court, by a review of the papers, said: s door is there so interwoven with the a suggestion of the author of such a precludes judgment on the part of the taxpayer who asserts his own cause, and is being enforced by someone to a suit or declaration of his rights likewise, a primacy of the claim is properly held, there is no basis for the issuance of the subpoena, or in the interest of the taxpayer whether due to these circumstances, this poses a different situation is not before us it involves the procedure by which the state is authorized to investigate certain state criminal cases chapter cb defines a contempt proceeding in terms that do not suggest the violation of a court

after he has received notice of the hearing and an opportunity for review rules - b and —a and c require notice of the identity of the persons from whom he appears, and on what within its jurisdiction in addition, he asserts that he is ordered to be denied any opportunity to be heard at any time before his grand jury inquiry may be tested by his own prior law, and that the purpose of the subpoena is to determine whether his rights may be protected the court declared that it could not, and did not, inquire into any of the factual alleged to be connected with any other party the court concluded that the court had jurisdiction to issue a subpoena duces tecum, stating that in view of the power of inquiry, a state could not construe the constitution to discover such a statute if it had failed to do the same the court, however, also concluded that the subpoenas were invalid because they contained no testimonial evidence testimonial evidence and would not have a way of ruling on the merits we disagree with the courtss view that the inquiry involved in a case like this is necessarily a matter of law, for, unlike the claim of the in a prosecution for a concededly noninterference with the administration of justice, the investigative function, of the function of the grand jury is clearly limited and is therefore an unnecessary one to do with an investigation of the character of the investigation that may or may not be alleged to violate the constitution because the court has declined to decide that it has a power to review the grand juryexcessive in that it has a duty to apply the reasoning of the court the judgment of the court of is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court enigmatic concurring opinion in however, decides that the case must be reexanded to the court i do not mean to approve or disapproveref the doctrine that, under therelied, first amendment rights are fundamental and that the laws are laws respecting an establishment of religion in this case we are faced with the resolution of whether the state is constitutionally compelled to engage in prayer activities or the expression of views * court, troubled by the lack of prior precedents, concluded that the the state of adopted a resolution calling for a decision of the court as to which there is a prayer to be held in the state constitution in the state court and the court of the county, the court ruled that the enforcement of the would be claimed, had it found that the prosecutor objected to the prayers on the first amendment sidewalk in and , at the court of the court ruled that the and raised constitutional questions on theconstitutional claim under the clause by a sectarianism id , atand reversed the judgment of the court and remanded for reconsideration in light of the law a ======================================== SAMPLE 22 ======================================== of states that do not violate the constitution for want of authority by argument, even if that were not so the presumption in favor of the trial itself is therefore appropriately met here it is not enough to say that it is unreasonable for a jury to conclude that reasonable men and women are not compelled to contribute to an egress the evidence upon which the judge concluded that the student activities were amply distinguishable was incomplete and the constitutional defect presented by the facts presented the literature for a publication which is received by an author is the subject of the investigation whether the events are of concern to the majority or to the majority is not a remand for a determination of whether this investigation was underinclusive because it violates the constitutional rights of the press the question of standing is whether the investigation of by publishing or utilizing as it is necessary to establish procedures to protect the security of the as we noted in states we said in states : the dealing with a subject of inquiry under the act is also relevant because it raises important issues concerning the special circumstances under which the interrogation is pertinent first, at second, the investigation does not invade the area of privacy created by the —when two other subject matter was first interrogated under oath second, the intrusion on first amendment rights is limited only to the latter intrusion because the subpoena effectively results in his failure to recognize the objects of his investigation in the subjects he sought to convey to be sure, in an ordinary case the subpoena seeks to inquire into the subject of a series of matters which have been held to be protected by the first amendment he asks the nature of the investigation to determine whether there is probable cause to believe the subject matter committed the subject matter is one of right to determine whether the committee investigation at which the interrogationis deemed pertinent if the admission that is alleged is not a crime under law, the relevancy of the questions may be highlighted by the particular circumstances behind the subpoena is an aspect of his obligation to be informed by the but we can deal only with the latter aspect of the investigation we must, of course, take into account the reality of a delegation of power to the to raise and support armies and to direct the applicant organizations and members in an appropriate district he has the duty to resolve the question of the kinds of questions to he does not become relevant to his fitness under the states states and he has the duty properly to give him a choice as to his application, which in turn is essential to the proper administration of government we do not think this constitutional or statutory provision is constitutionally impermissible on its face, but only that the clause sets the terms of a delegation we do not doubt that there was, for example, no need to because he might be counseled or the basis of his refusal to respond to questions of his views there is no indication in the legislative history of any of the statutes or other applicable statutes providing for induction, whether the phrase may be parsed or reads, as it may be read and observed, a delegation which might be limited as a condition to signing an unconstitutional government work force or convict the plain meaning of these statutes is evident from the explicit wording of the wording of the amendment; we cannot assume, however, that the first amendment was intended to free the to prohibit a broad, falsely formulated drafts from the nonlegislativeativeative materials of the members of the and government the debates on the second were irrelevant, however, because the phrase refused to incorporate the government suggested that it did not result in a change of the law in the debates on the original the wording of the language of the statute, the did not address itself to the question of whether the fact that the extension of the to questions dealing with admission had already been determined by the caucus held that the amendment did not authorize the admission of the members of the who voted in its governance not to limit the grant of authority to those who did advocate overthrow of the government by force or violence this is not to be thought to raise serious questions of compatibility with the constitutional rights of the appellant nor do we decide, for example, that the evidence there presented is sufficient to sustain the validity of the amendments proposed in this case we do not decide, however, whether the amendments to the states constitutionality of these statutes, or the act as made applicable to the by the fourteenth amendment, infringes on the rights of those to whom the appellant extends his right to be adjudged by the court of nor do we decide, for example, whether the had exceeded its authority by furnishing detailed evidence of the impact of the expert witnesses before the which authorized the introduction of books, books, and papers before the and the national organization the concept of liberty encompasses the creation of free, open to the trial and to the publi but in carrying out this program, we are not left to speculate as to the limit of the authority of the to require evidence that is critical of the character of the claimed evil we are not dealing here with the right of the under the constitution to decide on its face whether the ======================================== SAMPLE 23 ======================================== in this respect, the court indicates th but the opinion then does not rest there although on the assumption that our decisions have rested on the premise that a political party has a right of political association, its action ought not be condemned as something different than a majority of the state the court also attempts to distinguish our cases by holding that the validity of the statutory scheme outlined in the majoritys holding, and the holding of the court, was based on a conclusion by a declaration of party status and a determination of his right to associate with its members as we held in the same portion of the opinion and see no constitutional difference between the instant case and this case we therefore think it is wholly irrelevant to the first amendment issue whether a governmental interest is at stake this is the basic premise of our constitutional law, and the judgment of the individual public and the political parties are such an important element of our democratic system in this case we are the question of whether the states refusal to permit private groups to open their private premises to serve it is, of course, not constitutionally "patriotic for association since as in the case of a private corporation to do no more than the expression of views carried on by a private corporation, and its activities, however, are the same type of "materially affected" by the state requirement of ongoing state involvement of the state with the interests of its shareholders and the state in protecting the integrity of its electoral process but the states concededly do not claim that the challenged order is necessary to the states exclusion of its students is unreasonable, we hold that the particular implementation of the right of association is properly regarded as a "state action" in the constitutional sense our inquiry must begin with a balance between freedom of association and property rights of association and state freedom of association in the first place, we must make our empirical judgments as to the proper outcome of a case involving the kind of relationship that a state is doing to prohibit the court has made clear, however, that fact does not justify a statutory abridgment of the right of association protected by the first and fourteenth amendments see of ex rel patterson this is not to suggest that there is no right to freedom of association for the "privacy" of political association; the right of association for electoral purposes is certainly not subject to such significant limitations on constitutional rights the court has said that and this right falls within the zone of activity protected by the first and fourteenth amendments, our present cases do not support this distinction but the crucial fact is that the character of an association is a matter of public concern when an association is subject to state regulation by the state, it may be considered that the association does not in fact be considered an issue for public recognition in this case we consider whether the states may constitutionally prohibit the association petitioners first amendment rights; whether the association is subject to the state of rights of association in of the court stated that in state of the court said: applying these principles in this case, we hold that the states may constitutionally require employees to provide their employees with information about political organizations, information about political, and political matters of public concern, and limitations on state and local government, not on the ground of political, economic, economic, or political beliefs see of of of in addition, the court held that a municipal employer who meets the affidavit may not be required to reveal publicly the sources of its funds are not compelled to reveal these matters of public concern the court stated that the governmental interest in protecting the reputation of its members from arbitrary governmental interference is insufficient to justify censorship of the political activities of public employees the government may therefore constitutionally require employees to reveal these matters of public concern on its part to be such that they may be thought better than the public at large at a minimum, the employees in the present case were required to reveal their political activities but when this case involves the imposition of that burden on associational rights we do not think this case is controlled by the or by the there is no basis for a presumption of favoritism nor do we see any basis fordue process claim that the states may not compel employees to join or garble on their own belief in representative government we are also told by the and by the government that the people of the states are somehow protected from arbitrary governmental interference by the state virginia law did not abridge those rights the amendments were enacted as an amendment to ensure that certain activities be subjected to close scrutiny and that the employees rights if applicable to their activities are minimal and are carefully tailored by the of we hold that the or clause does not authorize the application of certain laws to a public employees association with their union * court also has held that employees such as petitioner here are protected by the or clause of the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution, and a public employees union representing their craft of class representative thus, the court held that employees may not be compelled to contribute to the union political activities and may not ======================================== SAMPLE 24 ======================================== decision in the state tribunals in this country yet, as the court recognizes __, a decision to declare an act of unconstitutional is apparently debatable, and will not carry the risk of its occurrence, will resolve the threshold difficulty of piecemeal appeals, which may be raised in the future some uncertainty arises inherent in this case appellants are free to pursue a brief nonconstitutional overruling in an enforcement proceeding against appellants, and the court, by instructing that they may proceed to publish a written statement of of the first amendment permits the imposition of an injunction against a single leaflet if it is found to be unconstitutionally vague, as the court recognizes in the case, and then, only if the relief sought is constitutionally impermissible, the usual remedies of several prerequisites for a denial of due process in a civil action brought under as a denial of equal civil rights to the same rights to the same denial of equal civil rights of citizens under the fourteenth amendment in this respect, this case is readily distinguishable from and there the court of for the sevent held that both statutes do not authorize declaratory as well as injunctive relief against individuals and unconstitutionally vague the case did not allege that the activity sought to be enjoined under the fourteenth amendments the state courts properly rejected appellants argument that the statute was unconstitutionally vague, as applied to them the merits of the claim were heard on the merits, and we noted probable jurisdiction the court denied appellants claims based on the first amendment and the equal protection claims the appellee argues that the decision rendered by the court was unconstitutionally vague and indefinite we do not understand the state courts to be prevented from considering appellants constitutional claims we therefore would be loath to grant appellants appropriate relief if the appellees had any constitutional right of association with the appellees being denied or terminated because of what procedures they might have set in their complaint and as authorized by section of the act ed v the claimed constitutional and statutory provisions for the of were unconstitutionally vague, and an injunction could be sustained by a state court in which the appellants were not prevented from obtaining a hearing on the merits in the merits, and we had no occasion to address them appellants say, however, that this court has no jurisdiction whatsoever to consider the first amendment claims of appellants, and proceed to consider only the merits of these cases as properly constituted the appellees alleged that they were the owners of the property located within feet of the shopping center were making endorsements in the public schools of and concerning the building in which they were directed the first paragraph of the complaint alleged that they did not involve the "fifteenth amendment right" of the shopping center to prohibit the use of appellants from communicating with customers of the shopping center, and informed the public not to consider such a violation of the act, and they were arrested for violating the statute alleged that they wished to distribute leaflets in the company town without a license, and that they wished to be prevented from entering the store because of the kind of "evil" available to them in the residential property the first paragraph of the complaint stated that appellant was brought by the of to bar appellants from "ticketing in the mall the substance of the handbilling is that appellants violated the mall in that they interfered with no other business operations of the mall it is urged that the shopping center, for the same reason, was threatened with violence and threats to customers of other patrons and solicited contributions within the mall—in violation of a no-solicitation rule appellants and -first filed a complaint in the states court, seeking injunctive and declaratory as well as declaratory as well as injunctive relief they alleged that the two large groups were to block access to the mall for off-distributing to customers, they sought injunctive and declaratory as well as injunctive relief the defendants, who had the right to block the distribution of handbills within the mall, stated that unless the shopping center was directly related to the shopping centers were attempting to comply with the no-solicitation rule by of the no-solicitation rule was also an issue which was resolved as whether appellants activity was protected by the first and fourteenth amendments the court found that the plaintiffs had alleged a violation of the no-solicitation rule and the court of affirmed appellants complaint, pointing out that the same cannot be said to be the

comparable relief in the future, they are quite wrong to suggest that the court has succeeded in invalidating the ordinance on the ground that it was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad we should say here a matter of first amendment law, and find the ordinance not constitutionally infirm as the court recognizes but the court has not questioned the validity of the ordinance as applied to any specific situation and the city officials charged with the administration of a draft card since this is a facial challenge to the ordinance as a whole, we need not address issues that might raise serious constitutional concerns, and that does not provide a sufficiently definite warning to avoid constitutional concerns with respect to the one hand, it is a time-honored practice for an individual who is wearing a flag on his premises during the twenty-he walked-and-night day it is not for the first time that it is well established that the public would be alert to the possibility of unconstitutionality as a message on his part to submit to the street activities of the defendant would be a convict for violating the ordinance there is no evidence of any criminal or other criminal or opprobulent use of the park lands to cause breach of the peace nor is there any basis for orderly use of the park lands by an individual solely on the premises and in his presence or in his presence at the open doorways nor is there any basis in this record for the contrary conclusion the ordinance before us is not the same as the one in the ordinance it is the discretion of the police to reject the want of the crowd that was authorized by the ordinance and its discretionary licensing statute the ordinance here challenged as vague and indefinite was unconstitutionally vague and indefinite the question is whether the of is invalid on its face as a vague, vague and indefinite and not ripe for orderly decision or rejection of the judgment of the three-judge court after passing upon the statutory framework, we are led to conclude that if the is unconstitutionally vague, this may not be the end of the the doctrine of facial vagueness, for even if the constitution is not offended we now have only the latter authority and is present here the constitutional doctrine of vagueness is applicable to this case and the case comes to us with a broad, vague claim the question in this case is whether the state of may constitutionally require appellants, in subsequent judicial or administrative proceedings, to include the public in the administration of antipsychotic

the fear that the representative of the community might object on any aspect of the community he testified that the prohibition on judicial proceedings and statements of the right to a fair trial

appellants highest court in re d, atunlike the order denying due process to the defendant, the court of invoked its interpretation of g, which was the basis for our decision in we held that due process, a new trial was not required because the defendant was not prejudiced by the conduct disclosed to the defendant at the time the statement was filed and citation of witnesses had taken or had

that the "legitimate" security concerns outweighed those interests in the jail the court also found that the conditions at stake were too high and that those detainees, too, were likely to adhere to the dictates of the constitution the court concluded that the "legitimate" security standard we also reaffirmed that judgment the court also concluded that the availability of notice by the noncommittal of the guards could be discussed as the reasons for rejecting issuance of the notice of the opportunity to be heard within the reasonable security standard we nevertheless held that the claim of the firm against its members was not sufficiently related to a claim of civil contempt to justify a decision on the merits the court expressly reserved judgment on the issue turning to the fact that the decision was based on facts not alleged as the complaint and not found by the court, we now reverse the judgment of the court the question presented in this case is whether the

of the constitution and the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution after hearing testimony, the court issued an opinion and decree holding the applicable to all and their provisions of the constitution applicable to the states through the fourteenth amendment and of the fourteenth amendments and an injunction prohibiting the enforcement of the ordinance the court of for the sevent reversed discerning the constitutionality of the ordinance, we granted certiorari, and we reverse * the time of the decision, the court held, first, that the ordinance is unconstitutional as applied to this case konigsberg, a company then had withdrawn from its vehicles a leased access policy from its sidewalks to persons seeking access to the streets of the company town in order to distribute brochures illustrating illustrating sexual conduct on its premises we found that the company had opened its billing envelopes to persons seeking access to the building to be "freely available the plurality found that the ordinance did not unconstitutionally interfere with the right of access to the property to be used for such purposes it nevertheless held that the company could not the court also found it unnecessary to consider the constitutionality of the ordinance as applied to the activities of the store in the court of also concluded that the ordinance is unconstitutional as applied to these respondents we noted probable jurisdiction as this court observed, the antipicketing ordinance is not an isolated step from the facts found in the record in we held that the ordinance requiring the police to provide materials for the picketeded driver or public sidewalk in a store in we held that the ordinance did not impermissibly interfere with the first amendment we found no constitutional infirmity in the antinoise ordinance because it affected the public sidewalks surrounding the store the ordinance was not limited to handbilling and thus fell within the ban appellant argues that our decision in is inconsistent with our decisions in this area of cases we do not have expressly considered whether a particular state regulation of private property may be considered equivalent to a neutral time, place, or manner restriction in we declined to consider whether the ordinance was vague in light of the conflicting interests there we have also recognized that there is no clear claim of a "minor" for constitutional purposes of course, the fact that the "things" that appellee used to denigrate its asserted existence as a ground for its lack of standards of review and that the manner of residential picketing was unconstitutionally vague does not change the constitutional analysis inthe court reaffirmed the test in which a municipal regulation prohibiting the door-to-way was unconstitutionally vague we also acknowledged that the ordinance was applied by the court in this case because it was unconstitutionally vague in we held that the first and fourteenth amendments did not prevent a city from prohibiting public sidewalks in the public schools even though they were not specifically addressed to the problem of racial discrimination since a flat ban on ======================================== SAMPLE 27 ======================================== of politics to this fourth amendment law congress legislated as it may

violate the first and fourteenth amendments * are familiar with numerous decisions of this court dealing with legislation for the guidance of interpreting a state statute that has the potential for tyranny see also states states of there is an exception to that rule for laws that interfere with first amendment rights states states opinion of this exception in constitutional cases is not justified by history or reason alone, for the evident judicial purpose that the statute was meant to protect is unconstitutionally vague for the reason that there is no readily identifiable legislative purpose to exempt a particular category of protected expression from total suppression by the first amendment as a statutory provision cannot accept the majoritys interpretation of this provision in its entirety is inconsistent with its recognition that there is no ill-defined doctrine for this court to uphold it the parties agree that these exceptions present a "case or controversy" in the sense of a "case or controversy i would therefore adhere to our practice compelling the major parties to a special accommodation between government and religion even if the majority is correct that the first amendments clause protects the right of religious dissent from a neutral, generally applicable law, its application is unconstitutional the constitution of specifically protects rights of conscience and concurring; of such a free exercise, not of the and clauses is at odds with our trust that a legislature must adhere to the conscience of a majority of the people it is impermissible, however, to require the government to adhere to a certain affirmative obligations created by religion the clauses protecting citizens from "potential and unlawful interference" is not an exception, and special circumstances justified by history or constitutional command respect to the values protected by the clause the clauses of the first amendment do not violate the clause the prohibition, as understand it, does not compel the government to accommodate the free exercise of religion the constitution generally protecting individuals from certain forms of conduct, see of and of of and of of religious liberty a right to engage in interstate activity is free from unwanted, and is not limited to those "undue burden" by virtue of an and clause such a limited free exercise, and indeed the protection of religious liberty, does not include the freedom to believe or to practice strange and, undefined as it is, to principles of general applicability and is not limited to those of the general warrant the constitution protects individuals against government interference with religious freedom, see of and not in the sense of relating to religion to government support of religious activities see states at — at — the protection of religious liberty does not depend upon a judges reasoning i do not think that the history of general application of general applicability under the first amendment would justify this result appellees argue that the principle of "adherent and "elum" in the statute was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad we need not address the constitutionality of this legislation because it is well founded, and because our cases deal with challenges that legislation like the one involved in this case, see states at — at — see indeed, in our respect to the practice of prayer has been characterized as in we held that a statute making it unconstitutionally "frivolous or maliciously false or maliciously false representations in the case of a motion to dismiss, a defendant could not be convicted merely because the plaintiff was actually a "frivolous" exhorting adults to personally or maliciously motivated actions the court held that the act could not constitutionally be applied to the defendant we expressly noted that the language of the act would, at the very essence of demonstrating those intent to proselytize religious observance and to impede the observance of the other religious practice the respondent contends that a "cause" is sufficient to provide a reasonable and impartial alternative for the defendant to make his claim of unlawful conduct during the private accommodation that he is required to avoid in this connection, the respondent makes no claim that he has been denied any opportunity to be heard on religious grounds, and does not claim that he has been denied any opportunity to be heard on religious grounds by the government, or required to be heard on the premises by the government if such

the companys application was based on the individual employee free to make the requested insert an address on the premises in response to the request, the president of the respondent asked for permission to appear on the premises during a session of the and asked to reaffirm the eviction because he did not violate the constitution and granted him a hearing on the merits in order to avoid the argument that application of the rule violated his rights under the first, fifth, and fourteenth amendments in action to compel the union to defray the individual employees equal protection under the first and fourteenth amendments the court of rejected petitioners employees rights under the first and fourteenth amendments the court also held that rights under the first and fourteenth amendments also under the first and fourteenth amendments were not infringed by the shopping centers located in the shopping center buildings the court of held that the company could not, and the court of was without jurisdiction to review the contentions of the employees the court of also concluded that the company had exclusive jurisdiction over all private business operations within the meaning of the act and therefore had not alleged a violation of the act or the clause the court of accordingly held that the first and fourteenth amendments did not give the jurisdiction of the government over private business operations within the meaning of the act and therefore did not authorize the to refuse to disturb the constitutionality of that section we first held that the court of was without jurisdiction to consider the constitutionality of the act or the act, but that the section constitutionally did not authorize the to exercise discretion reserved to the as an act of the ed the court, however, had jurisdiction to consider the constitutionality of the - act and of the act, as well as the act, in order to avoid deciding constitutional questions, after clear and clear and evident, failed to meet the constitutional requirement that the act be construed to avoid questions not explicitly left by the judgment of the court of this is the teaching of and pointed out by both and we agree in this case we examine provisions of the act and regulations challenged there, and our review appropriately will find the extensive, specific, and specific, constitutional infirmity in

possible that the body of lawfinding to ascertain whether or not should be retained and retained is fairgrounds the government is not required to make reasonable choices about what is and what is not, as a general rule, destined to be informed and not used as a "wasted vote " think it may be moreover, what may be trash to me must be described as a "wasted vote " a setting that balances the balances as opposed to stare decisis and stare decisis is simply not the only measure the constitution mentions, and hence the only reasonable basis upon which it relies, should be subjected to and therefore should be set aside as a majority of the court as is clear from the opinions delivered today, the courts methodology is not the kind of "carnival" that we recognized in but the difficulty of finding principled justification is the determination that i join the opinion of the court a statute passed by in the act of that guaranteed fees in excess of the costs of a general program like the law of limitations on fees, therefore, a contribution to a specific remedial program cannot be characterized as a contribution to the general revenue of the general revenue, rather than the choice of a single national government that is, if not, to put the costs of the basic tax assessment i do not interpret the courts money to benefit any individual, and more importantly, the general welfare the judgment of the court is i join the opinion of the court, with the exception of and the caveat that follow, it will be understandable that the constitutional judgment involved in this case is substantial and deserving of importance that statute does not violate the first amendment, but instead is an unreasonable one i do not see to make a value judgment today that this is a correct reading of the first amendment i would therefore hold that the statute on its face violates the fourteenth amendment and is not invalid the plurality opinion holds that the first amendment protects the right of a covered citizen to conduct a fee for the period of time that he views a decision to detain i do not think this is so because it concludes that the ordinance can constitutionally be applied to this case indeed, the respondent here, concededly has conceded that the ordinance does not violate the first amendment if this case presents a facial challenge, it may be required to show that the ordinance is not, for example, constitutionally invalid for example, in such cases, the challenged ordinance is not a facial challenge there, as here, the ordinance was not limited to "adult business" productions that the city had found to be protected by the first amendment but even if the ordinance is unconstitutionally overbroad, it is clear that it is not unconstitutionally overbroad nor can it be said that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague the ordinance suffers in this respect from the vice that the ordinance is vague on its face its violation, it seems to me, is that it protects constitutionally protected conduct and that it is applied to a "adult business" because the ordinance survives "underlicable" rare instances of not applying the same "general applicability i would reject the possibility of vagueness in hypothetical cases as well as those which involve "adult business" products that are not present in this case the ordinance is plainly overbroad its terms, as said by the court, are "nudity and "general applicability " ordinance is not susceptible of "general applicability the essence of this vagueness analysis is that it impinges upon the first amendment rights of those convicted of a crime but it is also a basic principle of constitutional law that a law may not be applied constitutionally infirm by merely applying a "general" standard of review, or a "general" standard of review because of the ambiguity in the definition of " " adult business it is constitutionally impermissible for enforcement of this standard, it is necessary to examine the constitutional text to determine its basis the ordinance is also unconstitutional as applied to this case because it makes it unlawful to knowingly or intentionally advocate the overthrow of the government or of the state of since this is so, the first amendment must at least be proven a part of the first amendment appellant was convicted on the charge that he was not a member of the did not be convicted for his first amendment rights, the conviction cannot possibly have formed the basis of a claim that he was either or had violated the ordinance the question is whether this ordinance is unconstitutionally vague the court is unquestionably established that the question in this case is not one of whether the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, but whether appellants claim is properly before us appellant claims that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague the ordinance is not vague, and therefore we conclude that it is facially invalid the ordinance suffers from a single infirmity the ordinance, as construed, ======================================== SAMPLE 30 ======================================== a sensation-sideanch charges against yarmulkes and  * statute establishes an on-head standard to all persons who served with a variety of artistic experiments the statute does not provide criminal penalties for the conduct of those who would be considered as more objectionable, or as less restrictive of free expression; it merely regulates the conduct of the underlying dispute it does provide criminal penalties for the conduct of which a person is arrested, while the purpose and intent of his employer may not be considered "compelling " general rule" in this case is simple enough: first, the fact that the phrase is ambiguous is irrelevant the court declared that both statutes were vague and unconstitutionally vague, since it , at internal quotation marks omitted the court there referred to two statutes as "prospectively vague the first count of the statutes as , and a threshold part of the final version of the provision defining criminal conduct by standards of decency are set forth in great part the third count of the offense is a count of violations of "fraud provisions z-a and a, which covers materials that are constitutionally unprotected by the first amendment the court of followed the and held that the criminal penalty provision, too, was unconstitutionally vague, despite the marginal element of scienter, and because the phrase "falsity" in was unconstitutionally vague we granted certiorari and consolidated this case with respect to the third count of the two statutes in question the first count of the three statutes alleged violations of the first count of the act is the and there is no allegation by the plaintiffs that any enforcement of the listed statutes will be sustained if vague, in addition, the only count alleged in the complaints is that the materials may not be used for, or for, that the materials are obscene, even though they may be used principally for such purposes in addition, the defendants stipulated that the court had jurisdiction to review the final version of the materials because the federal statute was unconstitutionally vague the court of agreed with the as to the second count under the statute, the court of held that scienter is not essential to the criminal process by the literal application of we have held that scienter is not a element of a criminal code even though its importation is constitutionally protected the decisions of this court have broadly construed the relevant statutes as we find the provision unconstitutionally vague the principal first sentence of proscribed sales and distribution are or books of value, and a single copy of a the second provision of the statute defines a "prurient conduct" as the provision covers only depictions of nudity involving a strictly defined subclass in applying these the "prurient conduct" requirement, the court held that the depictions of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct may be depicted by the manufacturer or broadcast stations the court also held that scienter is not a requirement that there be scienter in order to conduct its own activities the court of also concluded that several cases such as states and states arose under the first and fourteenth amendments the second set of language, it is of inapposite here because it is also clear that the kind of scienter requirement does not cure the constitutional problem we have also held that scienter is not an element of a criminal offense see states states states states states and states - states mm the court thought that scienter is an element of a criminal offense when, as in this case, it also established that scienter is an element of a criminal offense see also states pandering and states the court of also concluded that scienter is a element of a criminal offense the court of accordingly determined that scienter is established by a osuch a the court of therefore did not reach the constitutional question it was raised inand we granted certiorari to determine whether the phrase appeal dismissed as moot three-judge court for the fifthstated this we agree with the court of that had standing but would have abstained from deciding the constitutional issue or materially presented griff this case is not like in which we did not reach the constitutional issue and we affirm the judgment below but even if we assume that the provision does not provide a constitutionally protected guide, we have not previously considered the constitutionality of the definitional section of the statute we should now determine whether the phrase "political propaganda" is declared to be declared unlawful under the first amendment for all of the purposes of our first review, we hold that the second subsection of of the act, is not readily susceptible of other "unprotected" and therefore not within the prohibitions of at issue in this case are the constitutionality under the first and fourteenth amendments of a of the of their complaint alleged that the complaint, if not sufficiently related to the alleged unlawful act, is unconstitutional on its face, and hence dismissed and the case is exempt under the first and fourteenth amendments from both the and the first amendments of the constitution of the states the case is ======================================== SAMPLE 31 ======================================== of hotel the court conducted a detailed analysis of the record, first of in certain respects, the testimony about incidents of sexual violence by children is also divided on this record they were therefore instructed that it was enough to say that the testimony of the local police was sufficient to sustain its conclusion there was no evidence that the local police were in some sense involved in the large-scale investigation of thefts of private property during the two-year period on the grounds that the local police were justified in seeking to justify its actions in the first instance there is no evidence that the testimony sought to be presented by the local police in context when this case was first presented to the court we are not here dealing with the validity of laws by a grand jury in this respect, although they do not deal with a trial because there is no evidence of convictions by a state judicial proceeding or a trial it may be that the police are free to exercise their power to force evidence of criminal intent but the constitution requires that states states states provides that the right of access also extends not only to the administrative agency, but also to the administrative personnel charged with the duty assigned to it by the grand jury the rules applicable only to the use of the time are that officers of the who are authorized to make the order or whose inquiries may involve them, see e and any data and materials materials for which notice was given and which the orders of the court are open to examination by the judge or the judge the investigation conducted by the authorized the issuing justice at the courthouse and a grand jury is set forth in the notice of that law enforcement for violating law enforcement; statesthat any of a practice or practice in our institutions of justice would violate the constitution; it would be unreasonable to punish the legal staff who were ordered to appear, and therefore wrongfully think, by an appropriately developed claim that a commission of the dispute was so provocative that it was justified at the time that the charge and the trial court were permitted to make an enlightened judgment that they were not, and therefore not made a void arrest under the constitution, we conclude that the evidence was properly presented in the absence of such facts and proof, we conclude that the procedure established by the state courts here is sufficient to meet the requirements of the fourteenth amendment the procedure is said to be unwise as a matter of fact, and is not required by due process because the procedure is not required by due process in the first sense we are in no position to disagree with the courtobscure is inherently and of value to detainees and would be completely inconsistent with the holding of those cases in the courts below the evidence adduced at trial showed that the prosecutor and the defendant were likely to be mentally unstable or dangerous to his dignity even if the trial court were inclined to say that the inmate proceedings were ununstruct, or even able to present evidence in a court, witnesses and prosecution which could not be proffered by the prosecutor are insufficient to justify his decision to confront an accused and irresponsible prosecutor insistence on being able to testify in secreted and also asserts that in the circumstances of this case the procedures were unconstitutionally vague and indefinite, and all but general, procedures were not unconstitutionally vague, as the court of noted and its judgment is d, at : s evidence that he was denied due process because he was unable to object to the procedure there required even if the court should properly be able to conclusively demonstrate that the test applied by the court should be applied, there is no possibility of that response by the court or by the state the judgment of the court of is reversed and the cause is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion it is so ordered i adhere to the view expressed in states in the judgment of the court i adhere to the view expressed in states there, under our of the court decides the case on the merits in this case as if it were a genuine factual dispute about the nature of the dispute as the court decides the case has the opportunity to be resolved in this case by an unarticulated, bombastic presentation of facts about the legal background and proceedings committed to it by the petitioner i would have a different question if had specifically excluded the plaintiff from the action of the plaintiff of course, the court does not go further to consider abstract constitutional issues, but instead relies wholly on the fact that in neither case the court ruled for the of the case was unconstitutionally vague, and that the state courts had previously excluded those cases from its broad proscription of the right of access to the courts as to the case, the court has not approached other constitutional issues which are not presented in this case since this court, on the one hand, simply reverses the decision of the court and attempts to instead purport to interject into deciding constitutional adjudication in and this court has said that the highest court has rejected the claims of the petitioner, and felt that the court of had a duty to adjudicate the claims of ======================================== SAMPLE 32 ======================================== of states that a hearing should be held, there is a substantial amount of "actual malice the principal dispute in this case was the validity of respondents claim that it was properly found that was a person who had not engaged in sexually explicit conduct and who had engaged in constitutionally protected conduct we are skeptical of this claim because we cannot agree that the state did not have a compelling interest in its proffered justifications and that the defendants alleged a closely related interest in their suit the dispute over whether judgment should be judged in the light of the principles enunciated in and the judgment of the court of is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court enigmatic a judgment on the merits of the first amendment questions was and are in so much of the highest respect to questions about the limitations on state power imposed by the first amendment this case does not involve a broad constitutional rule because it is clear, although the question is close, we assume, arguendo, that the court would have the benefit of deciding the constitutional questions presented by a particular case rather than by a rule of general applicability at the time of the decision, the court of held that such a rule did not violate the first amendment because it ruled that it violated the clause of the constitution the question presented by the petition for certiorari is whether respondent could not constitutionally be convicted for advocating unlawfulness as a defense on the ground that by refusing to comply with his rule he deliberately refused to comply with * facts as to the meaning of the prosecution are unprudentially questions of law respondents filed suit in the states court for the of the of the complaint sought a judgment concerning the constitutionality of of the constitution insofar as it provided an answer under the clause on the merits, petitioners alleged that the matter violated their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments and under the first and fourteenth amendments the trial court dismissed the action for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted the states court of for the sevent reversed, holding that does not control the power of the states to award counsel fees for libel of public officials accordingly, the court concluded that it did not the court recognized that the rule announced in and the rule announced in was , atthe court recognized that s challenge to inclusion of the facts alleged in the charge was unwarranted under the first amendment and was therefore without merit in an opinion filed the court concluded that there is no justification for our review of this case as a nonconstitutional error we granted certiorari to consider a serious constitutional question about the constitutionality of a criminal statute that, in defining its jurisdiction, does not affect rights that were infringed by its prohibitions absent some explicit statutory limitation on state power to award counsel fees, see nor does this case present a substantial federal question upon which we granted certiorari is proper there is no justification for our straining in and from the decision in this case as a general rule of review is well established, our review of this constitutional claim is unwarranted therefore, we are directed to adjudicate cases in the lower federal courts of the states to determine the validity of a state statute if a district court chooses to review a decision of a state question the basic principle of our constitutional system was reaffirmed inand by the highest court of the state in the function of interpreting the clause is of this: thus in a suit by the highest court, the highest court of a state is the one most appropriate tribunal to decide constitutional questions under the circumstances of this case the answer to which appears to us may be that the decision of a state court failed to pass upon its validity the judgment of the court of is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion historical or commemorative value in a states that is the purpose and importance of such a state virginia interest in the well-being of the is hardly advanced by its refusal to extend the protection of the clause to all cases in this court nor is there any basis for preventing the state from disrupting the on the other hand, the is protected by the clauses from arbitrary governmental action by virtue of a of the state that this is a more expansive concept and is also entitled to respect by the court the concept of liberty encompasses not only the observance of a but also any definition of what is required by the clause citing the opinion of the court is also created by the words liberty and the clause of the fourteenth amendment the words liberty shall be set about interpretations of the clauses of the first amendment the of is a document belonging to by a state so as to give rise to it as a person within the meaning of the clause these words, shall be spoken in the of the clause of the constitution, and shall be construed in the light of the other terms, shall be construed as these other terms shall mean: appellees in the case refused to give the authority which they are exclusively ======================================== SAMPLE 33 ======================================== by that test and the separate concurrence in the court, though it was later argued by counsel for the and was denied admission to practice law because of his failure to take an oath of loyalty to his country the second case was argued as to whether oath was not open to the federal judiciary and granted the power to investigate people present their jobs because of their political loyalty the case was tried on the pleadings and affidavits proffered affidavits proffered evidence at the congressional hearings the court of dismissed the decision, because it was "highly sensitive" to the state constitution it stated that it had a close relationship with the states and the court of the court of dismissed appellants decision on the ground that it was in error we noted probable jurisdiction we conclude that the court of refused to exercise its power to refuse to admit his political loyalty by his refusal to comply with the constitution and violated his rights to freedom of association and to freedom of the press and assembly the facts of this case afford us the opportunity to examine the facts and the background of the case against which it will examine these particular factual issues we therefore consider whether this court for the first time declined to exercise its responsibilities in an organization of a racial or religious group we consider first the validity of this procedure, and, if so, whether the state law impaired theright to freedom of association he is an official of policy requiring a loyalty oath of loyalty to his profession we are asked to find whether this procedure comported with the constitution and the principles of the fourteenth amendment with all respect for the constitutional requirement that a constitutional attack be made on the application form to the state is the gravest requirement to be met the defense of that claim was sustained and the court of affirmed the evidence showed that the prosecutor of the local prosecutor and the state courts had commenced a lawsuit against the charging party the court of stated that the claim was unlawful and ordered the court to issue an injunction to enforce the constitution appellants statements were not merely those of the state court they were sought to be filed in the state court, the of states was enjoined by the court of to stay the courts and the state courts pending review of any state criminal complaint against the appellants under these sections we are authorized to take such procedures to the appellants and the legal claim under the law here under consideration must fail to satisfy the requirements of due process the plaintiffs and acknowledge the state governors power in choosing their juries for adjudicating cases on the basis of their race, loyalty, and national origin, and diversity of citizenship, and equal protection of the laws under review in applying this provision to petitioners case is a proceeding in which this court, in a due process challenge, said the facts and circumstances of the particular case but they presented a different case the constitutional questions presented by the appellants counsel acquired by the appellants counsel, and admitted the allegations in the complaint, which included the broadside attack upon the law since he was solely as a party defendant, the appellants grounds for excluding the appellants from their cases are squarely included in the first and fourteenth amendments the same cannot be said about the amendments in the original constitution, and, if this court were to have constitutional issues on its face, were equally applicable to the states by the fourteenth amendment the appellants also contend that because of the importance of their application for admission to the appellants, a constitutional claim is barred by the constitution and by the fourteenth amendment from abridgment by the states we find it unnecessary to pass on the constitutionality of these and the purposes of the fourteenth amendment we think that the constitution itself lays down a barrier to all governmental regulation of the manner in which a constitutional claim may be raised in of state of the appellants were served food and clothing and milled to their homes and their homes by virtue of their race; the shopping center has the character of the shopping center in the present case is crossed in the public hall by virtue of the title of the berms of the berms of public buildings and public buildings in of the appellants had a right to engage in political expression under the and act in their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments that section is specifically directed at the appellants was permitted by the act to distribute their literature in their private homes the act permits the shopping center to do business within the of buildings by persons other than the shopping center and by persons other than the corporation; requires the solicitors to solicit financial contributions of employees contributions to the customers of the shopping center or to the individual householders c, thereby interfering with the right to distribute their materials on the premises, hotels and public places of the supplied the factual findings established by the court contained in the section are binding on the courts below regarding this statutory phrase and the regulation of appellants activity in granting bar advice were followed in the course of a careful evaluation of the statutory purpose and is consistent with the clause of the fourteenth amendment that case requires us to consider the statutory question to ======================================== SAMPLE 34 ======================================== privilege on the part of the courts and the the law at issue here represents one of the basic reasons for declining to grant the requested insert, the g, and the size of the quid pro quo which would be considered contrary to the plain meaning of the statute but, as this court has said, these cases do not support, as was said by the four members of this court and see no basis, nor do, for departing from that rule if a right of reply is a right of reply, which is embodied in the first amendment, then it is also fundamental that there is no procedure at all for notice and an opportunity to be heard on its claimed constitutional claims in short, the claim before us fails allegedetermination and unsworn right of reply is a claim of a right of access however, if no notice and hearing are granted and if an opportunity is refused, a person need not be heard at his instance and upon request of the person seeking to be heard therefrom the court suggests that the very breadth of the discretion of the statutes mandating denial of procedural due process of law is not to be perpetuated if not one of the requirements is applicable it is true that the act provides that a person charged with notice of his charges shall not however, the discretion of a single representative or a substantial majority of the is expressly required how is this practice involves practice and interference with the rights of one to secure a hearing of the charges in the present case, the court appears to find that the application of the order in no way coerces him to claim that he has been denied any opportunity to be heard at the proceeding this holding seems to us to be based on the application of principles of statutory construction which have been followed by this court the constitutional doctrine which requires that the decision below be judged in the light of the purposes and interests involved is the interpretation of the statute which gives due process doctrinaire application and which is, therefore, constitutionally valid as a denial of due process the court of held that application of the act to his case violated the clause of the fourteenth amendment by denying to him the equal protection of the laws we also have with unmistakable clarity that the constitutional provision at stake in the case of this court we have said that liberty of the press, like the privacy of the home and see the nature of the enactment is subject to reasonable regulations and exceptions columbia of of of state of the state of cf we are dealing here with a statute which operates as a license and permitting one in a release of six persons to publish or to publish news in such a statute, the act expressly provides that where there is no right to appear on the statute, there are certain procedures these requirements are related to the first amendments concern in that we are dealing here with a scheme of procedures which may prevent prejudicial evidence does not apply to a claim of the right to a prospective defendant or a prospective litigant to a proceeding in which there is no first or fourteenth amendment issue; the only of the claimed by thein an effort to secure a hearing would be under no conditions at a particular time and could not be heard on the claim of the iii of the constitution that no one shall be permitted to pick and choose programming other provisions of the of the of the of permit a cable system to release the registration and so require the cable system operator to refuse to recognize any other the first amendment right of a person directly to comply with these provisions is further reinforced by the right of the cable operator to advise the public about access finally, the court of held that the of the could not be compelled to enforce limitations upon the discretion of a single cable television franchise these provisions are scarcely more important than those of the clause, for the first amendment rights of speakers are made more important by the discretion of cable system operators we have upheld the constitutionality of those limitations upon the discretion of a single cable system operator over a system of communications franchisee selection programs sch important, and striking differently from this one, is the converse of the statute condemned in ?without doubt the discretion of the cable operator to refuse to renew or renew a contract requiring the dissolution of an otherwise vague contract indeed, the plain language of the statute clearly permits a cable operator to exclude certain programming on leased access channels that he determines to carry consequently, the discretion of the cable operator to ban indecent programming on leased access channels is a separate entity whose members have sought to zone, under law, the rights of those who, if permitted, engage in indecent programming we have recognized the danger created by these decisions in addressing rights of speech, and we recently noted that in determining whether a particular area is restricted, we emphasized that in deciding the constitutionality of a leased access policy, we emphasized that the pluralitys highly restrictive policy arose out of the in an effort to afford more limited access programmers, cable operators, and cable viewers who would otherwise have been forced to make sure distinctions in deciding who may not to ======================================== SAMPLE 35 ======================================== at the time to do so is both important and essential to ends the court expressly reserved judgment on appellants due process challenge because of the importance of the particular rights at stake and the nature of the rights the court said that appellants have not persuaded the government to advance its purposes, and the court has noted that the enumerated rights are interposed to protect the right of access to legal facilities the court is careful to note that it does not necessarily mean that the right to access is related to the most fundamental rights protected by the rights of access but, as this court has often noted, it is not always true that a constitutional right may be created by a constitutional right, and it is not always true that a claim of access by a citizen to vindicate his constitutional rights by a claim of right and access may be rejected see of of for casualty reports over legal issues of constitutional law but, as we have seen, the court has held that the first amendment protects the right of access application of that principle today is fundamentally different from the claim of access the court draws in this case at stake there is no claim of access to a pretrial suppression hearing, or whether there is any showing of any other aspect of procedural fairness which might turn upon the content of the proposed motion pictures here, the motion pictures, the courts message is neither realistic nor permissible under our constitution appellant was convicted on evidence in the trial which he sought a writ of certiorari to review in this court he was sentenced to prison in the federal court for a period of days he sought review of this conviction by the court of three on and he stated that he had received complaints from persons other than himself and that he had been "communicative" of his publications, and sought only injunctive relief ordering the to return the property the case was tried on appeal by the court without a jury on appeal one question for the court was whether the magazines were obscene under the first amendment and under the first amendment, only two were withdrawn to the court on this issue, we are met with a preliminary injunction barring the defendants from conducting preliminary proceedings in the state court we are asked to declare that both magazines may be treated as a nonconstitutional matter motion pictures are as protected, as they are constitutionally unprotected, as they are the court of invoked the jurisdiction of the court we are compelled to say that the temporary restraining order of the press in this case was part of a broader constitutional guarantee we disagree with the court of view of the court of and the result is indicated the "omews of ideas" and the facts of the obscenity case are marked by the rules of most of the country our decisions are not limited to the present situation, however, with respect to the present cases the laws, like the laws at issue in may not be distinguished on the grounds of vagueness, which are the statutory equivalents of the rules in all but a very few states the defamation laws in this country apply to a most public matters; and there is a complete lack of safeguards for those who risk self-censorship see states states in this respect the first amendment overbreadth doctrine is not limited to those who risk self-censorship by the media of first amendment activity see of for although the plaintiff has the burden of proving that his interest is outweighed by the communitys interest in being fully informed, he may be required to sacrifice community values and to identify those that arguably have been published the rationale for this new constitutional rule is simple: the law is not compelled to require a newspaper to make a reply to a publication which is false and there is no affirmative defense and thus not a word of art nor is the fact that the unconstitutionality of the law may be triggered only by a failure to make a reply to the explicit requirements for a nonconstitutional monical publication which is published and sold to the publi this is not to say that even as to publishers or magazines or films to the public are not protected by the first amendment petitioners freedom of conscience when, as here, they are right to be regulated is one of the however, was not limited to those who may be willing to read the newspapers or to deliver them the fact that a particular book, tract, or movie may be valuable does not mean that it may be sold in the same way since it is necessary, therefore, the judgment of those who would have been constitutionally precluded is one of the classic legal rule the first amendment to the constitution places limitations upon state and local authority to regulate the application of a state statute to public assemblies and public speeches and expression as to the first amendment, this state is not the widely distributed pamphlets of the government, the people of and the states were decided that they were of of and the laws of had been passed in a marketplace of ideas, and were enforced by laws licensed by the state to mae by persons who would not be permitted ======================================== SAMPLE 36 ======================================== possible sensation is, therefore, in my view, the suit in this case is a hypothetical example of an action brought by a declaratory judgment that is unconstitutionally vague and uncertain, although not frivolous, these provisions are repugnant to the first and fourteenth amendments under the statute, the person convicted of the of enumerated at the time his order was issued, and the judgment of the prosecution will be sustained, though as to the might permit the to represent them, it would be monstrous to challenge the statutes plain language, since he could not constitutionally do so but, as is urged, the statute, as applied to him, is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite in the case of the appellees, a state court which has been held to have refused to review this decision on appeal, were he found guilty of both a violation of due process and an injunction against enforcement of the challenged statute the defendant was not arrested and prosecuted on the charge and were sentenced to pay a fine of $ he appealed directly to this court, which was held to be authority of the of the of the of and has received a judgment of unconstitutionality by the court of the of the state the judgment of the court is reversed and the cause is remanded to the court of for further proceedings consistent with this opinion these case write separately to note that are no cause for mob violence, and that if the violation is intentional, the rule of law is that they must be while there are alternative means of preventing certain forms of violence, such as picketing, and in furtherance of its purpose, the rule of law is that the method of picketing is not used as a means of furthering a purpose of penal administration, not to punish expression, without the approval of the owner or occupant the court in noted that court and noted that at page at page the first amendment is a great charter of freedom and the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances the rights of the people are entitled to petition for an appeal from a decision of the court of we do not think that the process of imposing criminal sanctions for violation of established first amendment rights is an unreasonable one, nor is there any constitutional or statutory limitations upon the manner of demonstrations within the confines of a building demonstrating buildings and police to their cause is certainly an old, old, old and old, and old practice it is a familiar practice that is enforced by a unanimous court in this case the court has held that of petitioners activities, the purpose of which is to carry out the purposes for which it is applied, is not unlawful and are otherwise unprotected by the first amendment at page at page under this view, conditions imposed by the statute are valid only if they are narrowly tailored by their relation to the evil that the occasion is presented, and by the persons, the nature of their activities action for preventive purposes allows only a consequential restriction upon free speech occasioned by the government however, when the statute is found to be vague and indefinite, in a criminal proceeding such as the criminal case there is a danger that the normal processes of the first amendment analysis will be ones whose application is unprincipled the consequences of these cases are similar: concurring in judgment in part and dissenting in part at the very moment, the decision will be rendered within the protection of the first amendment this is not to suggest that a decision motivated by the nature of a particular application will be unconstitutionally applied the fact that the statutes must be examined in order to determine whether reasonable minds could think otherwise? is the minimal discomfort inherent in an approach which requires that the court not also strike the vagueness of the words used in a penalty for a different offense or under the first amendment the court has said that the fact that the kind of statute is unconstitutionally vague has not been established to challenge the plain meaning of the words used in that portion of the statute, and therefore that the difficulty in issuing the elements of it must be explained in a criminal proceeding at the outset the constitutional difficulties involved in compliance with the vague-constitutionality and procedural rules there remains consideration of the procedural questions raised by the convictions these cases, duly ordained by the courts, not pass muster under the first and fifth amendments no— is here involved as a matter of law but it seems to me that the language of the statute, as used in this is unconstitutionally vague, is unconstitutionally vague no— was convicted of any crime or even as applied to appellants the statute is therefore vague and indefinite and should be remanded to the court of for reconsideration in light of the subsequently rendered below for the reasons stated hereafter we affirm the judgment of the court we find the pertinent element to be be declared invalid by the court the constitutionality of the statute as applied to appellants also depend on its literal meaning the individual appellants herein, were arrested and charged with a violation of the ======================================== SAMPLE 37 ======================================== , or of some mechanisms of expression, or of political association and philosophy to an individual segmentan unwilling segment of our society and its adherents for these reasons, we think appellants have failed to afford adequate justification for their prior determination in this case the court, however, did not offer a definition of this as a definition of those so limited, so as to deprive those appellees of their constitutional rights is what they allege—as the basis of their motion for relief on this motion for a preliminary injunction and an injunction prohibiting the appellant from interfering with their first amendment rights is also the case where the appellants are denying equal treatment solely because of their criminal rights in the court analyzed this case under the authority of of the act of and the statute made it a criminal offense for to the name of the victim in a home we found the ordinance on its face an attempt by the state to prohibit or punish appellants from manufacturing, selling, or manufacturing, or manufacturing such materials, or any materials about contraceptives, in order to distribute such materials themselves we rejected both equal protection and equal protection grounds in appellant also argued below, and we find no rational support for the conclusion that this is a substantive law and therefore is not applicable to appellants claim is one which is specifically directed at the state by virtue of the fourteenth amendment the appellants attack is not that they allege is no obstacle to their former retail distribution to the new retail selling within instead, they allege, it is their reason to assume that a solicitor of that state would be deterred from selling the mail to the general public by sending the mail to their attorney, not by the simple expedient of an immediate inspection, but by the simple expedient of issuance from the mails gen the substance of appellants argument is that the judgment under review is untenable since there is no claim of a prior administrative fact and thus does not have the benefit of a remedy i agree with the court that the judgment below cannot stand i agree with the court of that appellants other than because has established that the states are entitled to use other provisions of the constitution, and that therefore appellants judgment cannot stand appellants also claim that does not apply to their shopping center regulation to their conduct of business we find no basis for that contention, however, for agree with the court that this is the proper framework of the state of is set up with a statement by my in appellants first contention that does not apply because the state is barred from inquiring of the customers of his business from shopping on its property to exclude certain forms of entertainment we do not think that this argument can be made as an abstract proposition but we need not do so here certainly it does not decide the constitutionality of this provision for a state to exempt from its generally applicable regulations from its trespass laws appellant claims that if applied to them the same situation there must be applied obviously, there is no basis for decision on this point because the courts decision in this case not only reach the result in this case but also that the state was not motivated by any interest in regulating appellants basic activity on the premises the property which is being used by the general public, is a section which is sufficiently similar to the other public interests which has appellees claim is that this is not analogous because of the lack of factual analyses by state officials if there is any basis for a conclusion as to the applicability of to appellants claim of equal treatment by the district court in this respect we reject appellants claim of equal protection of the laws, which covers the court rejected appellants claim of a privilege to product on his property during the open shop system and took no step toward the rulemaking process the fact that the state law does not apply to appellants is plain we do not believe that the state law is sufficient an invasion of appellants constitutional rights nor do we perceive any basis for the courts refusal to enforce this otherwise proper procedure the state must be free to protect appellants property interest is not also said of the availability of a forum other than the places where the property is located thus, the availability of a type of first amendment protection is not simply an independent source of the property protected by the constitution there are other elements to this property-tax exemption the collection of such property is a prerequisite to any exercise of the appellees property is not renewed to be sure, there is no need to enter and consume the property to the degree of decreased public rights in its entirety, or, if ever, to prevent the intrusion that would result from its application to appellants activity at its shopping center appellees claim is the exception to the property limitation in because it provides no basis for excluding appellants property, namely, the exception to the first amendment does not apply because appellant does not challenge the total exclusion in this case is supported by the facts of the case in these circumstances, it is a understatement to say that the private property tax exemption ======================================== SAMPLE 38 ======================================== remanded on reconsideration, but the court declined to add to the significant difference between its formulation of first amendment principles, its formulation of first amendment principles is reflected in two related tests in one respect, the test must be adjusted to determine whether the speech is unprotected by the first amendment all federal judges must have believed that the best evidence of the meaning of a subject within the meaning of thus, on the basis of such a determination as is essential to their proper operation if there is a basis for a finding of clear and present danger to a speaker or listener that his speech is unprotected, the constitutionality of the state conviction should be judged as a separate, separate, and distinct question there are, therefore, important differences between the authority of civil law, and the role of both, we must be limited to a part of those who, because of their status, linguistic similarities and degrees of communication are simply irrelevant to a proper concern with the implementation of the law and the constitutional values they seek to protect as the state court stated in : first amendment principles are not confined to anything definable in the abstract, but only when the challenged statute plainly impers on protected expression of material on its face to the concerns or purposes of the first amendment the interest of the state in protecting its citizens from the consequences of their unlawful conduct is no less important than the interest of the state to the security of the flag the principle of governmental neutrality may not always be offended but that principle cannot be applied to this case because the interest of the public in avoiding an offense is no greater than the interest which it seeks to protect, the flag, and the very life of the lives the question is not whether the public was required to give a purpose to the ends of the act by merely according the statute that the act is unconstitutionally vague, but whether the exception to the act is ever applied in this case, which is the requirement of fair warning to the nation and its officials appellees sought review of the conviction by the states court of and the highest court of the state, which denied appellants the relief sought in an orderly process they sought review of this courts highest court and by this court has both declaratory and injunctive relief they have sought review of this courtaratory relief in the absence of alleged prosecutions to punish appellants for a broad, commonly prosecuted, attack upon a statute that is unconstitutional on its face and as applied the acts to which the prosecution was brought had plainly established a likelihood of future prosecution is uncertain as to the validity of the statute as applied, and the possibility of future prosecution for a declaratory judgment upon a single single, constitutionally impermissible basis, are not present in appellants criminal and constitutional contentions which their challenge is alleged to be unconstitutionally applied, that the statute is unconstitutional on its face and as applied, and that the prosecution is unconstitutional on its face, and that even if appellants were entitled to a declaratory judgment, appellees here did not even think their challenge to the constitutionality of the statute; rather they sought only declaratory relief, which is said to have been brought in the event of appellants complaint, specifically and first to the same effect which they sought to take on this proceeding under we noted probable jurisdiction and consolidated this case with the same consideration of the same challenges which we have here the constitutionality of a school system and their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments we hold that it is not there are two types of relationships that come within the scope of the first and fourteenth amendments first, appellants the states first and fourteenth amendment rights under the constitution and are said by the amendments and are said by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution and by the constitution and in the constitution mcculloch since both and are the basic values of the clause, the ultimate question is which of course is whether the ability of the appellants to provide similar facilities for local educational and religious vocations is a basic objective of the schools and is thereby undergirding traditional principles of liberty developed by our constitutional system second, appellants urge that the court erred in failing to recognize the compatibility with the clause the state argues that the children are already found to have fundamental rights under the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution, in that there may be extolled by the state under and the state also relies on our statement in th page at page : in our view, this court has often held that in every sphere of education a school may not, without adopting the specific guarantees of the first amendment, provide a wide spectrum of subjects from which public schools are isolated indeed, in andit has required state-substance,students for their education, to swear to something foreign to their conscience, and to being denied a public education a state must choose to make secular standards for those who choose to become public schools the secular standards used for determining the content of education are not derived from the religious ======================================== SAMPLE 39 ======================================== does not in any sense resemble the decision to pay a third party to represent in the protection of the first amendment here, the government has no interest in protecting individuals who wish to obtain it there are no legitimate interests which might be served by punishing them, and the prohibition of "entanglement is not an unreasonable means of preventing the government from regulating the government we are unpersuaded, however, that this is an impermissible legislative classification we agree with the dissent, in this case, that, under the guise of protecting individuals on account of their religious beliefs, and that the special character of the burdens imposed on the state must be achieved by restrictions which condition federal funds to support religious activities or institutions, and which condition federal funds to support religious activities or institutions the application of these principles to the cases at hand is not open to judicial re involving church property disputes over the use of church property to impose criminal sanctions we need not, however, address the issue of discrimination in a constitutional manner the clause does not forbid the application of its or to a state or municipality to a particular religious group and then a particular religious group in the environment of this unusual case, the property dispute is not the functional equivalent of the property rights the has not promulgated any activity on the premises of the city instead, it had established and manned the property for examination and determination by the that a condition of neutrality inhered in the government would be sufficient to invalidate the action under the clause applying that test to this case, the dissent argues that the did not violate the clause because the opening of its property to the for religious purposes would violate the clause because it did not urge the free exercise of religion, the constitutionality of closing is not before us the is a real estate corporation, an unincorporated religious association, inand has a certain perimeter of miles of two of the major cultural centers the embodies its own account of the the embodies its own account of its holiday display the asserts that it is a civic and historical organization that is entitled to the protection of the first amendment from government infringement by a general prohibition on the use of the property the does not urge that its rights under the first amendment be circumscribed by its own facilities do not infringe the right of free speech or the press under the first and fourteenth amendments he asserts that its claim for inclusion on the basis of permission to solicit funds for religious purposes contravenes the first and fourteenth amendments and thereby constitutes a prior restraint and denial of equal protection of the laws we reject this claim for a prison and proceed to discuss the constitutionality of the practices at issue in this case the nature of the legal questions presented by appellants has never been considered constitutionally regulable by this court as the court held in the city ofa community bordering appeals a judgment, and is there presented for appeal to this court the statute, like the one in this case, does not contain explicit time limits on the validity of a particular subject matter the first amendment provides that - the fifth amendment and therefore the section is sufficient time, place, and manner to which - the section is entitled as a part of the of s name and as necessary a place of business and solicit funds for the of the solicitor for the

courts the rule was retained in the court the rule announced by the court was announced by the court in the the court of for the third in this case: under the state constitution it is an accommodation of the right of religious observance to hold religious exercises in its public schools in a federally assisted and fair manner, it is not to be said that the activities of the schools involved in this case are or may be religious in nature the process of constitutional analysis of the issues is reflected in this courts decisions in of of the three most recent decision involving the activities of religious schools was the one the first amendment was provided: " ordinances or parts of the schools challenged here do not violate the clause of the first amendment, we hold that of fits within the corridor between the clauses of the first amendment and the clause of the first amendment we hold that it does not, and therefore concur in the judgment brookfield has a primary dispute with the

required by the clause to infringe on the rights of conscience the court reasoned that the exemption did not violate the free speech rights of employees and, in the terms of a valid, nonreligious organization, the court held that the exemption did not violate the clause because it and hence did not constitute id , and also held that a "churches need not accommodate under the circumstances of this case need not afford to avoid the inquiry into whether the benefit to which the benefit is unsatisfied and who is "pre-public-are not at the very beginning, however, the court held that the exemption did not infringe on the constitutional rights of religious organizations the court of held that the exemption did not have the primary effect of advancing religion because the provision was unenforceable and, therefore, the court found no violation of the clause we noted probable jurisdiction we conclude that, in light of the values of the first amendment, the clause does not inhibit or require the state to choose religious organizations among different classes of citizens the clause is thus clearly offended by the clause of the first amendment, see of the clause is clearly implicated by a governmental practice which sanctions the activity triggered by the government action the clause is commands of the clause that religious activity may not be inhibited by the government, and is not barred by the clause the governments religious activity may be prohibited by the clause, see of n concurring in judgment; states with that knowledge, this inquiry does not mean

properly apprised primarily of a the constitution sought to apply the courts ought not to include the because of its importance as of right to appointed counsel in connection with their claim and as a police officer, no order was issued concerning the entry of the equity decree the jurisdiction of this court was invoked a third time after respondents had been convicted for violating the statute in the fifth place, the court reversed a conviction under the first and fourteenth amendments the court of also concluded that the newspaper could not constitutionally be compelled to make the lists of the witnesses and that their claim of the privilege could be dismissed without a statement of the court in the second place, the court held that the issue of the fifth amendment prevented a state from inquiring into the source of the information sought the decision in rested squarely upon the ground that the source of the privilege might be incriminated by the newspaper in connection with an inquiry of the as the court stated in one need not become a prophet to conceive of any right or immunity arising under any law to depend on his fifth amendment privilege this is a claim of the privilege not specifically addressed to the and hence necessarily implicative of any court if it is to be answered by a grand jury the privilege is not normally applied to any witness, no matter what subject there is as much as a guarantee of the press as our constitution indispetably protects the people from subpoenaing into evidence that privilege is not normally accorded to the ents of the first amendment one can conceive of no privilege or immunity which would be valid the protection of the first amendment was described in states in a legal sense as one protection of the constitution, not the ices of the cases as the court of said on its face constitution as it is therefore, is not sufficiently necessary to provide a remedy for the violation of his constitutional rights for if the privilege does protect the integrity of the informing function itself, it does not follow that the privilege does protect newsmens informants or members of the press from grand jury inquiry moreover, the courts have on several occasions declared the privilege available to newsmens informants: the identities of the informants involved in the cases of the investigation may be pertinent to a newsmens press a grand jury investigation is conducted under the provisions of the first amendment, a grand jury investigation may be launched to arouse a crime, and the press has its source in its ability to newsworthy the court said the only relevant in having it: finally, the courts broad ruling that certain information received by reporters in the community was unconstitutionally broad to the extent that the privilege also extends to any testimony to the the press, and thus to the press reporter is inextricably intertwined with the same the courts holding seems to suggest little to be for the first time and place of the press, while the latter case is not presented to the and the press the court held that where the information received by willing informants had been obtained, the source of revenue might not be revealed by the news media it was the conviction of the grand jury that he had been released on account of his source most of the sources which he was released on account of his source was found to be newsworthy the court was careful to note that the privilege also applies in large part to the grand jury relationship in the court observed that the claimed immunity might not be unavailable because: in the court said ======================================== SAMPLE 42 ======================================== and fruitless tobacco see for of of state of - with respect to the

below and granted summary judgment to respondents a majority of the court of then concluded that the of violated the clause of the first amendment, and held that its application to the pre-empted collection and collection of an agency fee pursuant to a of the act would violate the clause of the first amendment because a subpoena could not be premised on a surrender of first amendment rights the court also concluded that, since the bank pursuant to a the only representative of the government withheld the request for a fee, the court rejected the fourth amendment claim because the bank had failed to make the fee necessary to protect the government interest involved the court of remanded the case to the court of for reconsideration of the fee by a "assessmentally" to the extent it withheld the fee for a communicative activity the court of for the sixth held that the act blocked enforcement of the act by compelling the to keep a record of the licensees a the court of held, nonetheless, that the act blocked enforcement of the federal antitrust laws, and consequently held that the act blocked enforcement of those portions of the act the court of then concluded that the fee provisions of the act were unconstitutional under the fifth amendment the fifth amendment prohibits the government from compelling a person to participate in another partys exercise of his first amendment rights we granted certiorari to resolve the important question whether airport terminals are always open to public or governmental uses in these circumstances we assume airport terminals are open for public use to display materials on municipal property in we also recognized the publics streets we recognized the significant first amendment interests of crime and the state that our traditional public forum precedents often enjoy constitutional protection against the activity of the public for expressive activity atn and we held that this special protection , at citation omitted like the instant case, the government has a special interest in regulating the flow of expressive activity from its property to the degree of captivity of the publi of course, it does not follow that the terminals are public for purposes of attracting crowds and passing motorists thus, the fact that airports are not public for purposes of transportation are not presumptively open for public use appellees contend that the terminal regulation at issue is constitutional, while the regulation at issue meets the constitutional prescription of the fee regulation we find this argument unpersuasive, however, for the proposition that quoting states we do not think, however, that the government has a special interest in protecting the integrity of the terminals, rather than the need for them to be presented in a different context the regulatory scheme here is identical to that inas the government has stipulated in the fee regulation the fee regulation, although similar, is not subject to reasonable regulations at all in addition, it is a basic part of the regulatory regime known as the government has developed zenso to ensure that the terminals do not be the only public permits, not the discretion of the secretary, which provide the public generally the regulation does not further any interest other than ensuring that the fee regulation will be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest the governments interest in protecting the public from fraud, excessive crime, and excessive annoyance in the areas of public buildings is no less important than the interest in avoiding congestion and the avoiding litter and the avoiding disruption of the and a high order here, there is no risk of significant harm to the publics message as the court stated in our prior decisions that have been limited in the future to the point where necessary to protect the public from harmful conduct the has provided for careful governmental controls and has issued rules to the for ferg orders under its prior approval these rules the is in essence a measured response to the problem of flight, which at the regional level can be disrupted if the user himself in the face of these facts we think it likely is for the more part a breach of the public order that he has a right to withdraw and give his message in the future but the regulations here are as clear as the regulations are we are not persuaded that the act offends the first amendment rights of free speech and that the judgment of the court should be affirmed appellant challenges subsections and of the

======================================== SAMPLE 43 ======================================== finally, there is no element of malice in the common sense, nor could there be any doubt about the constitutionality of each the courts of appeals in this respect are limited to determining whether the statements in petitionerss findings of fact are constitutionally irrelevant to the purposes of the act, or may be considered of such a determination because of the importance of the issues, we have made clear in prior decisions of this court that the evidence in a libel action under must be considered in order to determine whether the statements in the disputed sentence are sufficiently related to the purposes of the act to comport with constitutional safeguards more specifically, although the existence of the clear and present danger requirement is evidence that it does not advocate forcible overthrow of the government by force or violence, we do not believe that these cases are controlling nor do we mean to approve the first amendment that this court has, as the court has urged us, wholly different from the other cases dealing with expression the danger is that the court has not resorted to the clear and present danger doctrine to support denial of recognition to state of at pages — at pages — but whether petitioners may properly be deemed to be the issue of law on its face, we are dealing with a matter of clear law nor do we see any basis for according greater recognition to the state courts to this court of the chance of its broad interpretation of the first amendment to petitioners to the effect that petitioners might have had upon the state courts to forestallengue in their approach of law petitioners were convicted in the court of for refusing to submit to induction they were found guilty of the offense and sentenced to the sentenced three years in jail and a $ fine, the court of affirmed the court of affirmed the judgment below dand this court granted certiorari affirmed the case comes here from the single judge accepted by the court in the question set forth above: n if this is so, it may be constitutionally prohibited only if it be determined that the statements are taken as a whole, or if they can constitutionally be brought out on the record, or if the statements may not be taken as having on their face, as a whole, we start with the proposition that there can be no proper occasion for re-examination schneiderman states page states states when there is room for re-examination of the rule as respects only statements which are accepted or no purposeful or which are ordered or directed, there is no basis for re-examination of the trier of fact the judgment of the court of is reversed in its entirety the dissenters in the case opposed the application of to the same effect the court, of course, do not challenge the role of to support its holding as a matter of law, the court of concluded that a proper constitutional question might arise if it had merely reviewed the constitutionality of decisions rendered by it if this is not so, we should not go no further than is necessary to resolve it certainly the dissenters in had counsel for counsel for counsel for both of petitioners asked us not to adjudicate the constitutionality of their decisions, and we should not have to reach a different constitutional question because the question is close and abstract, we must proceed to the extent indicated by the constitutionality of the decisions of this court that the constitutional issues raised by the monument cannot be answered by the abstract, and have not presented a different constitutional question than the existence of nor can follow the distinction drawn by the court of that the proper constitutional issues must be avoided wherever possible see the court should instead look to the specific provisions of the constitution to determine its result in the first instance the constitution of does not require the result reached by the court of that the states are making no law respecting an establishment of religion that decision is made, as the court of observed, by the fact that the religious freedom which is sought to attach to the first one of the clauses is the prohibition of establishment of religion, which is limited by the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution there is no need to interpret the constitution to reach the result here, but that is the sole basis for our interpretation of the clause of the first amendment the court of did not question that the monument is a of endorsement of that the first amendment, the determination of which included a of the in the first amendment is of itself a matter of conscience neutrality to be sure did not view the question presented in the abstract, but thought it is purely technical and immaterial to say that the question which was decided was not think the court would have ruled on the monument available from the of but just as the court of observed that our examination of the of does not foreclose proof that the straightforward reading of the constitution will create an impressionable high art or any other religious beliefs we are unable to perceive any reason to perceive anything flowing from the court of from its already unique role in interpreting the clause nor do we agree with the court that the of has the clear secular character of the monument, and thus ======================================== SAMPLE 44 ======================================== of local school boards, cities and towns the local school districts are used by the city to provide these distinctive minority groups with a range of agenda the call for volunteers is permitted, though the city may not have funds from the the is required to approve a partys candidates, including the and the of the statute prohibits some citizens from going to a city or town to provide to their local public or private groups for meeting meetings the definition of this ordinance requires all political parties to agree to their number, and the ordinance itself contains a disfavored political philosophy, this is not to suggest that the act is properly interpreted to prohibit only those expressions of political ideology because this is not a "political speech see our activities are limited to those the acts they seek to advocate are of the sort quintessentially subject to state regulation the court stated that the this statement of the sort at issue was fully accepted in the present case because it suggests that it applies only to national political parties the court held that the state interests at stake were compelling the court concluded that the act thus, the act is not one that restricts federal employees freedom of speech; it is a political association for precisely the same reasons the state has failed to justify its restriction on the interests of individual citizens in political association the importance of the interests at stake is of the highest order and of the state the fact that the is a corporation does not, in my judgment, justify the restriction on political expression, and the public interest in protecting it is surely trivial to require the state to make this determination with respect to its interest in protecting the electoral process for example, ineligants of political life might advocate against public issues and has attempted to cause a disagreement between two of the group it is doubtful that even if might constitutionally pass legislation that would be unconstitutional, the latter would pass constitutional muster by definition, whenever a political party seeks to subject a state to reasonable regulations that differ in substance, or a group of voters, there are two interests that may justify the restriction first, there are interests of the highest order and the state in protecting the electoral process it is the federal interest, not the interest, that this measure will be pursued in a manner that discriminates among different classes of persons on account of their race money does not represent a generic popular constituency; one of the two characteristics of a political party is greater the fact that the state is most assuredly free in the manner of partisan concerns does not alter the overreaction of the entire provision a party might also be required to show that a particular decision to enhance or nullifies its status but a state may not constitutionally protect against the possibility of suit as a political party by making the decision directly applicable to any political party in the process moreover, the purported absence of constitutional justification is no less objectionable to this case the court does not suggest that the state is equal in its protection of interests in protecting the integrity of its democratic processes ante the court has concluded that this equal protection analysis is inappropriate the court draws two interests that are asserted to justify the restriction on candidacy by governmental officials it rejects the restriction on candidacy, and it concludes that the limitations on candidacy are unconstitutional because it fails to satisfy a standard of candidacy the court assumes that the limitations on candidacy are so "nub" that they are ibid the court further asserts that the limitations on candidacy are an interest in protecting the integrity of the electoral process and that the integrity of the electoral process may be preserved by current-day interaction yet the court does not claim that we should apply strict equal protection principles to this case the court does not question that the restrictions are constitutionally invalid the court also concludes that the restrictions are valid because they are not an "narrowly drawn" means that they promote a legitimate state interest but this is not a case where, as is this case does not involve traditional patterns of classification discrimination moreover, the court never has applied strict scrutiny analysis to its asserted interest nor is it important that an abstract standard be applied because it is possible that a law disproportionately affecting rights of political association and its political association is an important and legitimate state interest and that, under the guise of electoral self, it is a "narrowly drawn" means of furthering it the court today confuses two assertions here to define the nature of the regulation under the "strict scrutiny" standard regulations that burden the right to vote are facially invalid under the first amendment, see and a classification based on political wealth must be subjected to strict scrutiny the court, in an equal protection case, concludes that the scheme cannot survive even intermediate scrutiny because the classification it seeks to regulate is not a traditional and primary requirement however, the court relies on to support its holding in the narrowest of the test ante, atn i think it important to note that, at elections are generally electioneering and accounting requirements the general rule that is a part of the qualified voters rights to vote and to ======================================== SAMPLE 45 ======================================== an backpay, directed not from any unlawful motive but from an unguilt and therefore not from an unlawful motive the freedom of speech was further limited in the setting in the act, and was implicated by the additional requirement of procedural due process because it was compelled to apply procedural due process and law under our constitutional system, if ever a motion for summary judgment was granted, the court awarded actual findings of fact, which were held not to be founded on an adequate preponderance of the evidence, but directed only to the reasons for a determination of the sufficiency of the evidence, the most that is alleged is that the plaintiff was not a prevailing trial, the judge had not merely treated the evidence on the allegations of the indictment, but directed only that evidence presented to the jury presents to the jury the question whether there is sufficient evidence to meet a reasonable doubts of the truth when this question is properly invoked, it is an understatement of the matter to say that the alleged evidence in the record, no appeal can be had for a finding of law there are circumstances under which a jury might return a verdict for a nonfrivolous claim based on the evidence presented, which include differences which may be irrelevant under the first amendment aside from cases such as and we are not concerned here with the constitutionality of charging the or his witnesses with something different on the basis of the evidence actually at issue in this case there is no reference to the defense that the jurors called at his trial were instructed on the examination of the witnesses and admitted at the trial itself only in cases arising under the statute from the jury were there the jurors were called to the stand there are also other circumstances which may be relevant to a determination of the question under review is the quality of the trial and the fairness of a fair trial if an open court renders a decision immediately afterward there is no reason to assume that this court would be promoting a direct and independent investigation of the evidence, which were never open to the accused, and would counsel to the trial courts failure to grant an accused appropriate relief in order to convict on this aspect of the offense is further aggravated by an alleged failure to arrest he is being ordered to appear on the evidence and answer the charges in his own behalf, and for the defendant may claim a right to demand review of the jury and answer questions of the jury we cannot hold that on this record petitioners were entitled to a general right to go to court for the benefit of all counsel there is no reason to make these other contentions here the judgment below is reversed and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the section of the act, as amended by the act is the one contained in the section in question section of the activities act ofas amended a permits a general rule-of-peace to sell liquor for consumption on licensed premises during its licensed premises appelleesburg of liquor retailers filed a suit under the -first amendment to the ofseeking a declaratory judgment that they were excluded from the dancing because of the alcohol prohibition the court was convened to consider appellees challenge to the constitutionality of the licensing scheme for and grant-of-service displays located on licensed premises appellees were a veterans who had for a number of years at the of in the states business manager for violating the the building permit appellees pleaded guilty to the complaint and stipulated a three-judge court, convened under we noted probable jurisdiction and concluded that the case is not properly here under we noted probable jurisdiction the antipicketing ordinance reads as follows: appellees were charged in the court with violations of the act on the basis of the alleged conspiracy to violate the fourteenth amendment as we understand the opinion of the court, appellees alleged that the two retail liquor license tax, in contrast to the retail sales tax, is consistent with the act and requires that no person be permitted to sell on premises where there was no charge or chargeable activity contrary to the states policy of equal protection we said that both types of secondary consumer picketing were considered at least the types of goods sold in states that did not by the owner himself the court held that the protected activity was not enjoined on the ground that the defendants were asserting that the present case was not directly controlled by its legislative holding we express no opinion as to whether the act is intended to proscribe all kinds of consumer picketing, whether or not it may not be so applied we hold that the first and fourteenth amendments protect the right of the people to purchase and decide by reasonable regulations that they will not restrict or restrict their sales practices to local communities within the meaning of the act the judgment of the court of is reversed and the cause is remanded to the court of for further proceedings consistent with this opinion if correctly applied the principles of & or the clause to the states, see n we agree with the court of that the first and fourteenth amendments protect an unwilling member of the community from damage to the competition ======================================== SAMPLE 46 ======================================== of the people, the time of trial might implicate the claims of those citizens who object thereto to or to to the detriment of those who follow, and for the burdens of conscience and respect for our religious heritage with these considerations in mind, we hold that the clause of the fourteenth amendment is violated by a state action providing a system of opportunity for parents to be assured by the first and fourteenth amendments as a part of their religious heritage although the constitution protects the right of parents to be freely and without governmental intrusion into religious matters, the clause commands more than this the first amendment commands both the ultimate shelter and the ultimate shelter of religious liberty the state must therefore have a i do not think that the first amendment protects any private right of association, no private right of association, no equivalent to the rights of parents and young adults our precedents teach us that the clause protects a womans right to choose between their home and his freedom of religious worship the right of parents to enjoy protection of religious liberty and to assert their own notions of liberty is implicated only if it is necessary that if the state interferes with the rights of other citizens or an occupants of the home, the state must do so the guarantees of the first amendment are thus not breached by the clauses because the home in question is a criminal trespass appellees urge that if it is necessary to grant the constitutionally protected rights on the basis of their own home they are not just citizens, and thus entitled to enforce it, that this is the reason why appellants antipicketing ordinance is not, as we have shown, but only a little more than an infringement on the rights of those who seek to engage in door-to-door activities the claim that it is not, for purposes of this case, narrow on the basis of the protected interest in protecting the peace and the criminal process from annoyance and harassment is, therefore, not merely the right of individuals and the states to protect themselves the argument is that if a legally peaceful picketing does not constitute a valid time, place, and manner regulation does not constitute a denial of the right to picket on or elsewhere, since a simple and orderly manner by a single individuals right to picket is unimpicketing and cannot be denied an opportunity to enter and choose among the alternatives of a single member of the premises the situation is similar, because in each of the picketing is free speech plus, the picketer owns the premises, which are normally used by a general sidewalk as well as the functional equivalent of a full-scale area this is hardly because the open-ended, though not a picket and the offensive message on the premises from a public sidewalk is made by individuals and because this is the primary object of the picketing, it is here that handbilling is the kind of classic expression which the state seeks to prevent the second part of the first part of the picketing, quite obviously a picket, is protected by the first and fourteenth amendments from both residential and public interference by the same token the communication of anti-union labor, the kind of constitutional analysis should apply obviously this is not the case obviously, if the picketing is the conduct of the neutral employer, those employees will be compelled to cease working in the premises of the company obviously, there are innumerableable picketing, the picket signs, and the employees will never be heard to challenge any of the practices on their premises third, as to the picketing, the picketing which is the classic labor dispute is that the shopping center is itself open to the general public at large by the shopping center, and, if that is the case, there is no basis for the second part of the picketing the primary employer are in full agreement as to the content of the proposed proposed communication; he is not ordered to do so and he is not authorized to do so nor can he in any realistic sense be said to have any reasonable opportunity to continue in his place of business like the the business district attorney and the individual petitioners argue that the ordinance, as applied to their individual petitioners, interfered with the right of free speech, and thus the ordinance was unconstitutionally vague we find this argument unpersuasive the fact that there is no cause to believe that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague in light of the standards of and are what is prohibited under the first and fourteenth amendments is not enough to say that in defining the terms of the ordinance it is unconstitutionally vague it is, of course, true that in the business district and are in a different situation as the court has heretofore been applied it is true that if a district court finds that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, the ordinance is in no proper meaning as well as the meaning of the ordinance if we do not, then the ordinance is invalid this ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, and there is no reason to believe that it is unconstitution ======================================== SAMPLE 47 ======================================== in controversies that are open to possibly unfounded or unfounded, but that is irrelevant in this respect i do not have to indulge my doubts that a more limited and thorough search is necessary to solve the problem the constitution is violated every time all things, is implicated to some of these things, and perhaps it is equally important that the court for the first to concede that the expression is not compelled and all under state law a lesser protection would raise serious constitutional problems the federal courts would be left to evaluate the constitutionality of each of the requires demands of the constitution but do not think that the courts decision diminishes theright of every citizen to make an admitted determination of their rights i am in general agreement withdissent that the right of free speech has been infringed by the most recently, and will be subjected to the most stringent limitations on state powers of general applicability to the courts from the substantive sphere of fair administration the principle that prior decisions dealing with libel on the press do not alter the fundamental purpose of the first amendment is that the over-all supervision and accommodation of individual rights is no less important when the state extends its statutes to the same basic purpose of protecting freedom of the press is to preserve its essential and essential safeguards of the free society which it safeguards the basic purpose of freedom of the press is to make the self-governance of certain basic values, and this protection is both necessary and essential to the maintenance of a free society likewise, the function of freedom of the press was not merely to provide a vehicle for those who would adhere to the tenets of the and would be of the highest respect for our freedoms at the same time that the first amendment protects authorship and freedom of the press is also protected by the mandate of the first amendment in addition, because law and order, reporters are protected from arbitrary invasions by the first amendment only if the state imposes reasonable restrictions on their freedom of press, petitioners here are unable to perceive reasonable regulations as to limitations on a press whose rights are not subject to regulation by the state itself but which are constitutionally justified in this respect think there is here no basis for reversing these judgments we are also urged to hold, for example, that a defendant in a case or controversy may not be denied the opportunity to be heard on the merits and claim if the press is guaranteed the press cannot be prevented from publishing material which it would not otherwise be released if he has had no right to freedom of the press, the press, or the press from the prosecutor but, too, do not believe that these cases may be disposed of in the abstract in the court said: more recently in the court said: i do not think that a newspaper, periodicals, or periodicals are any more free to disseminate information than the public, nor should a commission of securities, act et w et w et, the public rights of the public to be protected from arbitrary and malicious interference by the press supposing information to an unknown person that he is unable to understand and is not required to furnish relevant information to those who should be involved in its efforts to enforce the law and to maintain compliance with an order of confidentiality i do not understand those decisions to mean that information about private citizens are different in kind from private citizens in the court said: in the face of a prior case it is difficult to understand that the publication of an embarrassing conversation will be of the public nature because it will be thought that the press is in the public domain i cannot imagine anyone could understand that this is a case where the press is the risk of exposure here, however, the answer would be the same if the press was allowed to keep private records secret but press reports are of interest to the people when they have no interest their relevance is no different if the press must be prevented from publishing or utilizing private information in the public domain as in this case, there are no obvious danger of the risk of any prior restraint on the press we are told by the court that there is a serious danger that the press will appear to be disclosed in a later case but that there will be the danger of an unwilling or unwilling public administration or public to be informed of sources then in that there will be governmental suppression of the press, the prosecutor will fear that the prospect of such suppression will be made in a less restrictive way but since the problem of prior restraint is not so easily resolved, we are not prepared to conclude that the press, and broadcasters are therefore compelled to have access to public information and that there is no special public interest in their reception to information about public affairs there is no constitutionally significant difference between and in view of the right of access that the press is the government, there is no justification for denying access to public information in this respect the holding in appears in my view in the same terms: no one is seriously short that the societal value of access is not to be found in the abstract nor do mean to invade any privacy interest that might otherwise be found ======================================== SAMPLE 48 ======================================== know that this is the reason why a state cannot require an attorney to state whether his statements are protected i agree with the court that the states have a compelling interest in protecting the private attorney from potential deception, and that our decision here is misplaced there is no compelling interest, any state, or of the bar, to require an attorney to state whether an attorney is certified and retained and who is the subject of this litigation for the reasons set forth above, and related, the court concludes that the case is not one because it does not represent a private attorney the court notes that the litigation brought under the motion-and-arbitration challenge was a claim which can be disposed of without a court order, or a full record of the proceedings, even though a private attorney might have succeeded in no way at the time of the original suit, and that, as the litigation may be, he did have a not-for-profit adversary hearing in any form, the proceedings may be terminated while ongoing and very proceedings may be terminated while the original suit was filed against a private defendant the claim that the litigant is the only possible accommodation in the context of a claim under the facts of this case is akin to a claim which cannot be disposed of without a meaningful and fair presentation of the merits in the court declined to hear this case, and noted that the defendant might have failed to meet the burden of proving that he was not a private attorney, and that failure to state a claim because it failed to represent him at the criminal proceeding the court concluded that the defense could not present a reasonably conceivable basis for deciding that question, absent a showing that he was actually a private citizen, and that this was a claim which the court rejected the fact that the court was proceeding in which this court held that had been taken on appeal to this court indicated little, if any, relevance to the argument that was actually presented there is no authority for this court to address the question of the precise scope of the freedom of press and the press in general, and the absence of any issue of the case is of no relevance i join the opinion of the court, and write separately to emphasize that even a third element of the substantive right claimed is difficult to understand fully the third element, therefore, does not conflict with the value of a defendants order in this case there is no requirement that appellant be a member of this court, and there is no requirement that appellants other claim shall fail to raise the necessary signatures for a fee does not contest the permissibility of appellants procedural rights, and this is no more than an "arbitrary proceeding" for a claim by a nonfrivolous claim we have held, for example, that due process guarantees of liberty are enforceable against arbitrary action by state officers for that reason, the fact that there may be freedoms of speech and press subject to reasonable and impartial due process limitation is not a sufficient reason for denying a transcript of the proceedings here there is no requirement, however, that appellant shall be deprived of the opportunity to be heard at this proceeding and a law enforcement officer are protected, and there is no requirement that the trial court enter an order for that purpose he is not merely a judge of the law, but a court of appeals, and is given no opportunity to be heard on the question furthermore, as was said in the constitutional right is not subject to the choice of a trial, cf obscene as in the constitutional right the right of a jury trial in the constitutional sense disappears the right of a jury trial is the same constitutional value as the right of a jury trial in any state, as where an arrest is justified and there is no interest to be considered in the first instance in any case, if a state prosecution is instituted against a defendant, the right to be tried and the right to be tried and there is no constitutional barrier to a trial i agree with the dissenting opinion of my that, applying the amendment to a state statute charging criminal offenses to a group, which is unlawful and hence constitutional, shall not be made a crime, shall be declared void on its face and shall be declared void on its face and shall be declared void on its face and shall be declared void on its face, and shall thereafter be declared invalid as unconstitutional as to the procedure by the state in its enforcement the question here is whether may be declared declared to the authority under the section of the constitution for the purposes of the fourteenth amendment the provision for a draft in the and the first amendment reads: in the challenged the constitutionality of the fourteenth amendment made applicable to the states by the fourteenth, and the validity of the section shall be sustained as applied to the defendant, his administration of government for the purpose of preventing, or even the use of, evidence of such evidence, shall apply to the if any onethe facts shall be reasonable as to the facts shall be reasonable as to the issues shall be prosecuted in the case of theappell ======================================== SAMPLE 49 ======================================== are doing so in a setting more familiar to the command of the first amendment and thus would be vulnerable to a halt by legislative action but if the constitutional rights of individuals are to be infringed, then they must be realized because the provisions of the first amendment are as low as the clause requires that a religious belief be maintained wherever they are without power to overrule, and if those rights may be directly affected is a minimal one, and if those rights may be abridged by the requirements of the clause, then their application will likely be invalid petitioners also contend that the clause of the first amendment forbids the imposition of liability for petitioners under a state vocational plan that is not paid for peyote possession with a religious belief, and that the allowance of peyote possession is unconstitutionally burdened by its regulation of peyote possession having concluded that the clause forbids the imposition of criminal penalties on the possession of peyote possession, whether on its face or not, its prohibition is pre-empted by the clause that case concern the amenability of a preliminary injunction under the first and fourteenth amendments one must argue that, even if the court may properly find that the res judicatory statement on its face is protected by the first amendment thornhill state of i adhere to the views expressed in my dissenting opinions in and i adhere to my view expressed in - at the outset do not understand the court to say that sacramental peyote possession is not being punished under any definition of the state to be sure, the court does not make a ruling on the merits that sacramental peyote possession is to be sure, in times of war or abstruseism, or peyote use is an abstruseeethe ofor any claims that involve an issue of religious worship or of a by the highest ecclesiastical authorities but under these principles, it is necessary for the court to make a determination of the question within narrow bounds the court is unable to agree with the judgment of the court and the exceptions it sets up on this basis i join and of the courts analysis of the act is faithful to the concerns expressed by the court, and therefore join and of the opinion the uses a so-called "coercive" to require that the peyote possession be purchased directly from out-of-state sources, and were reasonably adapted to enforcing a general criminal code the law under which these items are sold by the drug, is in accord with the same categorical ban on the possession of peyote, which we held to be, of imported items, is therefore not within the protection of the clause the dispensing of peyote is not foreordained by the clause, and is not governed by the same categorical restrictions of state law as if it were it were an exception the statute invidiously discriminates against interstate commerce on its face the clause, which bans the states to grant privileges to persons who are otherwise subject to the act, is a product of the clause concurring in part and dissenting in part; cf s inhibit the states by some regulate of liquor distribution the same may be said of the statutes banning the use of alcohol on premises where it may be thought to be a domestic threat the same attack on the validity of state liquor regulations does not arise from state law generally, and does not appear on the record before us the court today erects a state of affairs justifying the limited exceptions to the use of liquor ante, atn the court does not dispute this conclusion even if were to ignore the clause would not adopt its purpose as an objective, its vagueness would still be highly relevant to the constitutional questions presented by this case the courttalk is a danger overall is apposite for the moment appellees and appellees sought certiorari to review in this court, which challenges the state liquor distribution regulations the court below rejected appellants constitutional challenge to the sales tax the state of could, however, constitutionally preclude a state from enforcing its liquor sales tax by its own terms appellees challenge the state sales tax scheme of liquor distribution we noted probable jurisdiction and now reverse the day is a series of additional days, accommodating its tax collection from its sales tax and from its collection in appellees challenge to the sales tax as a part of a collection of liquor the wholesalers and retailers here challenge the sales tax as a regulation of the retail liquor distribution system their complaint alleged that the retail sales tax, by its wholesalers and retailers, is in violation of the clause of the first amendment by distributing their liquor directly within the state the court dismissed appellants constitutional challenge to the sales tax on the ground that it was both "rudental" and "unlawful" because it both types of liquor distribution are not the court of reversed the court, holding that even if the tax is unconstitutionally applied to ======================================== SAMPLE 50 ======================================== the need for the state judiciary to stay but the proliferation of engender disrespect for the law and thus violate the clause for another day and for other reasons we have found merit in the concept of liberty the constitution itself guarantees liberty to counsel see also for of and state of states - at pages — this : so have noted, rights of prisoners within the meaning of the fourteenth amendment are not absolute see for states at pages — at pages — in view of the difficult nature of the state interest, and the nature of the rights that may be raised in this case, we think these cases present a clear conflict of interests in public life where the rights are protected may conflict with the constitution, our task of constitutional adjudication is to determine whether the governmental interests advanced in support of these restrictions cannot constitutionally be abridged as a denial of due process of law we therefore hold that the weighty presumptive validity of the states requirements of the fourteenth amendment apply with equal force to the states as well as the rights of detainees, and on the nature of the rights of detainees, and of the detainees, to be punished as the majority recognizes and those detainees the nature of the detainees rights are fundamental, and cannot be impaired under the clause for any reason, the clause does not seep away every invidious discrimination for these reasons we conclude that the speciality of the fourteenth amendment is not implicated by the restrictions on prisoner-press and appellants judgment in this case is therefore affirmed and the case is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion appellee challenges subsections as of the act of as construed by the court of to prohibit persons convicted of the offense from on the ground that there is no evidence that persons other than persons actually or reasonably suspected might be punished for further committed acts while appellee did not challenge that provision on the ground that it might be unconstitutionally applied to persons dangerous at the time a statute is asserted, the identity of the persons or persons is not determinative of the rights or those of the detainees on its face, appellee does not claim that the statute is unconstitutionally vague in all respects, and his claim is therefore without merit a logical or indefinite derivation, for example, obviate any constitutional doubts appellee also argues that if the section could not be constitutionally applied to persons whose conduct was specifically denied by the purpose of the statute, to punish persons for exercising their rights of free speech, or of persons with whom they may is charged the narrow reading of the section would leave room for argument, and would leave room for argument that the court held that and its amici read the provision constitutionally valid on the other hand, appellee also objects that the provision in the act would make very persons subject to the sweeping language of the statute none of this is to be read in the legislative context the legislative history, in a manner aimed at ensuring enforcement of the remainder of the act, is far more relevant to interpretation of the statute than is the case with adoption of the wording of with respect to judicial interpretation of the statute, we emphasize that the sponsors of the amendment did not intend to extend the provision to the rights of persons lawfully proscribed by the statute in the first section of the act how often the legislative history is replete with a discussion of the rights protected, the legislative history is replete with instances in which it is unclear to the statute but this court has never held that the language of the section is peculiarly apposite in the present context because the language of the section is unconstitutionally vague mgarvey at pages — at pages — of and in states the court said: more recently in we said: thus, in this court said: on the other hand, the plain language of the section itself, or the specific reference to ibid , counsel for the court in the interpretation of the phrase act, is clearly apposite the constitutional issue presented by appellee is therefore not whether the parts of can survive, but whether appellees have demonstrated a constitutional challenge if this court were to refuse to enforce the constitution and do assert the first amendments application to this case would reverse appellee concedes that the terms of the section are not so encompassing protected activity and thus, his claim cannot be characterized as at least minimal first amendment problems our cases do not support this distinction we noted, for example, did not analyze the content of materials displayed for public exploitation, which were criminal offenses appellant also contends that the materials were "intimate and constitutionally protected" by the first amendment to the states constitution the court of held that the protections of the fourteenth amendment extend to and the court of did not consider the proper analysis of the statute that judgment held that there is no privacy interest in book publishers or booksellinging materials dealing with obscenity could not be constitutionally applied to book publishers, book publishers, or booksellers such as appellants furthermore specifically ======================================== SAMPLE 51 ======================================== is prima facie evidence of intent to the contrary he can never succeed in his case, and on the assumption that he is unable to support his theories, a point which, he lacks a reasonable prospect of success on the merits, would impair the integrity of the claim we are unaware of the alleged overpayment of the death penalty the judgment of the court of is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court today concludes that the state of is constitutionally required to provide reasonable access to its civil courts to address appellants claim to access to a private trial court also is impermissibly underinclusive as would the requirement of a private trial court to close its primary federal trial to a private trial court neither the court nor the court of plurality opinion, nor the court, appears to have addressed, the constitutionality of the statute defining closure of the courts accordingly join and - of the opinion the first of the five statutory questions presented by the third and fourteenth amendments is the and that the court, because of the danger of a certain denial to the defendants, is properly convened to address the constitutional claims the state of is clearly the kind of conduct that a private individual is at stake in a private proceeding it does not authorize anyone to "open judicial proceedings" without first explicitly corresponding these interests to the public at large there is no provision in the statute that requires a private trial merely because there is a substantially private need for him to convey relevant information about public issues before the defendant has not yet published and reels this fact to the government accordingly concur in the judgment of the court in this case insofar as it sustained the trial courts judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court in this case declined to reach this issue but submitted an obscenity claim to the bar, and the court in this case concluded that the first and fourteenth amendments require the state to conform its law to the standard of obscenity set forth in states and of for strong statements of fact in libel cases, and also concluded that the state could not constitutionally punish the members of the press for no libel of a private citizen * a companion case to the case we deal with obscenity determinations of the relative importance of the particular freedoms alleged to have first amendment rights we have often had occasion to conflicting rules, however, when we face constitutional problems at we are dealing with the form of an obscenity prosecution; we have a statute specifically directing us to issue a decree which does not call for sensitive tools at the same time, we do not believe the first amendment requires such a result the first amendment does not require government to afford certain classes of material available in a free society the of must not give all the states the power it permits the general warrant in the selection of destination, which is now supplied by the general warrant, is as follows: the constitutional provisions of the constitution apply to all those in our country those convicted of states citizenship pursuant to laws of the states * two-year sentence of the fourteenth amendment is that the ======================================== SAMPLE 52 ======================================== constitutionality for its purposes there is no semblance of definitive definification, or concession of the ,mandatory nature of this case the injunction here will not be interpreted as an alleged part of an ordinance of the of which bars a project from destroying the premises the decree is said to be a prior restraint and will not be sustained we therefore do not go one whit however far as we are talking on the questions of selective enforcement against of the ordinance the case does not mention the kind of kind of entertainment that should be controlled and, as such, the ordinance its language is an exception to the bar the private activity involved is out of pure speech and action although the facts here may not necessarily be considered as setting these events, the terms of the ordinance are clear and precise: the average person, applying contemporary community standards, may find, at least with respect to certain protected activities and accept that as the nature of the ordinance is irrelevant in this respect the ordinance is said to be arguing otherwise, and because the presence of in those purposes is purely "test it goes without saying that it will be treated as part of the law the "outrageousness" requirement which we said in is applicable to this case: the plaintiff in the action is the "cleariff" within the meaning of the ordinance the respondents themselves may not, for example, segregate between those activities in the scope of the ordinance but do not see any acceptable resolution of the issue is an exception to the first amendment rule which permits the application of content-based discrimination among classes and whether they are based on wealth or a content the ordinance, however, does not, by its terms, say any activity at any place of business, involves "fighting words "the proviso protects the method by which is convicted and the offense level can be used it does not, however, raise any questions of the validity under the first amendment, or any other provision of the ordinance see also if we are to indulge exception for the phrase no differently in this case we must apply strict scrutiny to the facts of the case before us for the purpose of considering a facial challenge to a law under the fourteenth amendment is "nudity it is that we are treated at this the differently it sees fit we should not, therefore, leave the right of a troubled printer to proceed incrementally and ante a matter of law the clause of the fourteenth amendment, standing alone, empowers courts to address claims of law on a case-by-case basis because this provision is a self-wielding sword, it is subject to strict scrutiny, and our precedents, and because the phrase in question is so obviously vague, it poses a serious threat of criminal courts to do so in a circumstance which is difficult to understand the clause is unquestionably a general warrant to be used to prevent denial of the right to display a sign of good name on the property of another if it were possible, it would be difficult to understand how this provision could be sustained as a more difficult question the constitution, both of the states, requires only that a state provide adequate post-viability or post-viability consequences for an unwilling but captive audience a unwilling viewer may well find the surrounding classification unconstitutionally vague in arguing that the ordinance is not so facile, we do not think that the provision in question is constitutionally infirm were it otherwise, the ordinance is clearly not vague as applied to petitioners claim is unconstitutionally vague, and therefore is pre-empted by the court of giving due process and due process to the lower courts, we think it is not the court of correctly concluded that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague but we agree that the city of is not unconstitutionally vague; we think that the ordinance is not unconstitutionally vague, since it vitiated by the eighth amendment see states courts at we think the ordinance suffers from serious constitutional difficulties, and therefore the ordinance before us is unconstitutionally vague accordingly, the judgment of the court of is the ordinance is not vague as applied to anyone who wishes to display any sign within feet of the embassies of the governments of and the ordinance is therefore constitutionally vague, and therefore cannot be sustained as repugnant to the first amendment nor is it vague on its face, it is unlawful for any person or persons to erect signs on the property within feet of the embassies of the governments of the states or any political subdivision of any political subdivision of any public place of persons in the of to read, inter alia, that they shall be referred to as " " within feet of the embassies of the governments of the states and guaranteed by the constitution or the " " is not apposite within the first amendment if it is applied, the persons to whom it used the prohibited conduct are entitled to be expressly indicated by the owners of the government and its officers, there can be no contention that the court of is ======================================== SAMPLE 53 ======================================== course, to enforce the act of a segregated courtroom, or a rule of adherence by the court to apply the law in a noncriminal context this procedure will not be exercised in an arbitrary manner, and will not be exercised in a trial, if the factfinding that an indictment may be deemed relevant is that it provides a constitutionally adequate alternative although agree with the court that the televising of criminal proceedings is imposed by a private one note following the televising of criminal proceedings is essential, under states if they are not to be dispensed by any sanctions at all, why the public should not be able to frustrate the act of a private trial, lest the defendant, obviously, had a right to a public trialsuch exclusion of the public could be prosecuted for me, the court did not assert that the public might be able to protect this interest by refusing to admit into the trial, and did not claim that the defendant might be denied access to the trial for purposes related to the televised hearings there is no basis for the distinction between and the televising of criminal proceedings serves the same purpose no alteration of the constitutional values of a free society as the prosecutor and the defendant, as this court has noted in state of that the public is protected from arbitrary and restrictive criminal trials, and, to be sure, no formal rule by which a defendant or defendant may be retried if he is not allowed to be retried if he is allowed to do so but, while the jury trial has a very different function from the original trial, the fact that it takes place during a full trial is irrelevant to the question of the constitutionality of the procedure a constitutional defect, which is presented by this case, is presented by this case: the reasonable relationship between the accused and the coerced defendant to submit to criminal conduct, and the probable consequence of their unlawful conduct are and will be disobeyed, this policy is not applied to appellants even though they were compelled to do so by the courts nor is the constitutional interest in preserving the quality of the decision, which is embodied in the sixth amendment, is achieved by the prosecutor and the judge in applying the law and this is surely the proper view that the only effect of the sixth amendment is to keep the law of incomplete the fact that the confession on the trial is admitted on that examination is irrelevant to the trial itself nor does the fact that he is compelled to submit to evidence being admitted at the trial, except that he is compelled to submit to evidence and not ruled on and taken as being by counsel in his favor there is no basis for the procedure which the sixth amendment protects i do not agree with that the constitution protects authors, literature, or information, for they do not think the protection of the first amendment from arbitrary and unreasonable searches and seizures nor is this fact a basis for resisting the search of the private citizen the court says otherwise, the police are authorized to do their duties well, and the chief must decide whether probable cause exists to order such a seizure, reasonable or undue—that is, whether the evidence is reasonable or noncunreasonable, which is, whether probable cause exists under the clause of the constitution, and whether probable cause exists to believe probable cause exists to believe probable cause exists to believe probable cause exists to believe probable cause exists the present case differs from because it does not involve a criminal offense as was said in states the court said: at page at pageand that is and cases dealing with obscene publications for example, in the court said: " authority to order the seizure of materials believed to be unlawful must be found to be unlawful is said, this power may be exercised only by judges who have the power to prevent the distribution of obscene materials b rules prohibiting the distribution of obscene materials must therefore be judged by standards which do not necessarily color the basis on which the arrest is made that is, the contrary proposition is the basis on which the seizure may be undertaken the court seeks to avoid the mischief which it upholds the constitutionality of procedures which satisfy the constitution but it seems to me that the procedure followed by the court is not a scheme that there is no procedure by which the judge or jury shall be impunged while the procedure employed by the court finds no violation of the constitution, or even that it may be constitutionally objectionable, this is not a procedure which is the basis for the denial of the right to judge the obscenity of obscene materials evers at pages — at pages — at pages — i do think, therefore, that the procedure approved in is unworkable under the fourth amendment i must therefore add one final observation: avoiding exposure of the censor films sched, or possibly even articulated, such material may nonetheless be restricted without prior submission to the publi the court has not previously considered this case, and it will be noted that indeed, the court has declared a limited right of " citizens" to receive books, see states states states states and of of state of see also ======================================== SAMPLE 54 ======================================== statutory guidelines and prophylactic rules that are not available to the use of artistic reproductions in the present context are appropriate and should be employed as a means of pursuing the objective of modifying aspects of artistic expression; yet these definitions are unconstitutionally vague, as vague, of a categorical requirement of fair warning and fair warning to those who use pictures of artistic not afffor example, or merely "acclaimed is a basic objective of modifying substantive legislation to the degree of fair notice of fair warning the principles of fair notice are well established, and if possible are achieved by unnecessarily broad applications, our purpose would be fulfilled at a minimum, we have warned states lawyers for of state of quoting statesto be sure the states claim that the class of conduct that lawyers for ofibid not contestably low, but broad enough, as vague, to withstand constitutional scrutiny this principle is satisfied by our highest respect the court does not, as the court implies, give up discretion to the states to do what a state is embracing the fact that the alleged perpetrator of the "actual malice" in the charge of a college is irrelevant to the issues of fair notice and hearing the court bases its conclusion that the plaintiffs themselves are not prevailing parties that should be entitled to or considered access by the court to defend that right ante, atn it does not consider the merits of the vagueness challenge as a general matter, we may assume that the alleged perpetrator of the criminal offense has satisfied the intention of the defendant to see if he has "actual malice" before recovering damages for a defendant of a federal claim there is no "actual malice" in the statute nor does this courts decision defer to a constitutional holding apparently unsatisfied with the assumption that the defendant has shown more than the "actual malice" demanded by the plaintiff, and under this courts findings do not establish that a defendant has alleged the existence of a clear and present danger that he is a member of the but in this court refused to repudiate a theory that, when using a nonconstitutional form, a nonconstitutional basis was improperly proved i agree with the court that, on the facts of this case, a live controversy exists, and therefore concur in the judgment at the very beginning the court has rerafted exceptions upon the first amendment rights of speech, particularly in the broadest sense of that amendment, to the point where it is presented that we have a very narrow reading at the outset, this courts "finding" of obscenity is not one of constitutional tests in the area of obscenity, as well as determination of "nonobscene" material, a court may independently review the courts "finding" of a statutory and constitutional mandate that the right to jury trial at least be assured and the right to jury trial, see states and states -opinion of state of co non- formulation formulation, articulated by the court, fails to accept the latter formulation i also agree with the court that, as construed by the court, this is an easy case, involving the question of whether a defendant has sufficiently "actual malice to require submission to a jury under to require proof of such "actual malice" by the defendant to be considered in the civil proceeding will be a difficult way to measure this courts constitutional holding furthermore, there can be no doubt that our prior decisions dealing with state-imposed area restrictions on state-imposed materials see also opinion of see plurality opinion of id , at — at — insofar as we deal with state-imposed materials, we think appellants due process challenge is an exception to settled law, which was intended to exclude constitutionally unprotected materials from jury protection see also for state of but we are not compelled to decide whether we think appellants constitutional challenge to our specific federal and state-run laws to challenge the constitutionality of state statutes that contain recklessly drawn requirements for state-run criminal trials in we applied the traditional presumption of constitutionality that the jury trial must include evidence of good cause as a matter of law the same is true here as it was with respect to the presumption in this case the rule, if applied to a defendant, is not to be cast aside as a presumption of constitutional law thus, contrary to the fourth amendments mere allegation that he is not a knowing member of the might not be required to reveal that he is a knowing member of the neither the government nor the state legislatures charged with the interpretation of the statute, see must be disposed of the claim that he is a lenient one to be sure, if the defendant is not a knowing member of the can be prosecuted moreover, under law the right to jury trial in an individual case is not limited to a lesser extent than it is to an imprecise, or an abstract one, and is, rather, judicially condemned for the reasons stated above would affirm the judgment of the court of i also agree with the majority that the case is ======================================== SAMPLE 55 ======================================== comfavored viewpoints, to include in our pluralistic society a term the first amendment guarantees might require that all be discriminatorily exercised in a marketplace of ideas some members of this court would think that the presence of there are other than those in the listening world are far more relevant in determining whether or not to impose the normal sanction on all editorializing, and whether those views are protected under the first amendment here a regulation requiring speakers seeking to adhere to a particular point of view is at issue a relatively selective regulation of speech, and for that matter would affirm the judgment of the court petitioners challenge the validity of that aspect of this regulation is not, of course, to confront those private views which do not present the majority but they do not present the danger of suppressing information, and there is no evidence that they are based on anything more than a fear of exclusion from information in this burgeoning discreted category to find that the speech prohibited by extends only to commercial speech would leave a equally open remedy unprotective of speech the majority also claims to an extent of the pernicious effect of this regulation, claiming the adequacy of the answer is the need to protect its policies the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to our well-being in a free society moreover, the chilling effect on speech is the same no true can be said by randeis and our : "" is also true of public debate and the is this true as well as the court has often pointed out this with the passage of the court has understood the act to prohibit only those statements that are directly part of a legislative process are produced by the jurists of fair parliamentary inquiry, and has seemingly chosen to do so, as the dissent may today in this case, there is no need to rely on analogies to cases in which we have specifically distinguished between re there, we are told that the constitution itself mentions no such thing it has suggested that state legislatures could restrict the right of association simply because the initiative that is, while the constitution forbids this freedom of association, it has no excuse, or even censoring speech, no matter how acceptable or how acceptable, just as it does for the constitution the need to protect the electoral process deserves no less than we have here, since the right to associate with and support is also basic to the democratic process the court, troubled by the lack of findings that the pernicious consequences of the democratic process are not, in my view, constitutionally sufficient to impose reasonable reasonable regulations on the right to vote is not to impose reasonable regulations on voting rights, see virginia and that voting rights may be curtailed by a simple and rational administrative practice the critical limitingement on electoral practice is found in decisions involving election law thus, it is unconstitutional to put a lesser burden on voting rights than it invidiously burdens their right to vote and the right to vote if the constitution entailed individual political parties whose contribution to political thought was enough to justify upholding laws requiring disclosure of their campaign lists is enough to justify upholding this restriction on individual campaign activities of individuals seeking election ballots as well as the right to vote and if it were possible to require state or federal officials to disclose minor political information, the court might conclude that it was not sufficiently burdensome or even significant for the state to come forward with reasonable regulations as to which there is no basis for a prophylactic ban in the court reviewed a challenge to a federal statute that required professional fundraisers to await an agency determination that the fundraising demands and the participants in their fundraising events would be prosecuted if the solicitor had violated the court rejected the claim that such a regulation violated the clause the court applied this principle to the present case and concluded that the professional fundraisers who were required by the law to register and to disclose fee applications that were not collected by the fundraiser had crossed the fee, and the banks had a full fee in the first instance the court concluded, however, that the statute unconstitutionally burdened the right of the chapters to solicit or to solicit money for a advocacy, and that the fee, if not sufficiently high and efficient to ensure the integrity of a fundraising drive, was unlawful the court concluded that the village ordinance did not impermissibly interfere with the right of association assured by the first and fourteenth amendments on the merits, the court concluded that the village ordinance requiring it constituted a prior restraint on the right of association assured by the first and fourteenth amendments the court also held that the village ordinances of the of the of did not violate the clause; the ordinance is therefore unconstitutional as interpreted by the court of to prohibit only the kind of solicitation or canvassing, solicitation, or dissemination of merchandise the court rejected appellants claim on this claim, stating that in so heavily involved a facial regulation of the raising and disposition of funds to institutions comparable to those permitted to sell tree fruit t solicitation of contributions also amounted to methods that, though not subjected to state regulation, might ======================================== SAMPLE 56

discourse to those of foreign officials and ensuring the dignity of our foreign country but our present elections are repugnant with the spirit of our constitution and of the people, and it is the people of the states, and the people the associational rights protected by the first and fourteenth amendments included those rights not explicitly included within the broad rights of action the court does not interpret these rights, however, to say or say that the reach of these constitutional rights is beyond question i would have preferred to place the responsibility of the first amendment on a wall of the broad, implicit in the concept of liberty of association of which this court is invested with a right to conduct and to protect itself this court has said cantwell state of see also at pages at page at page regents of state of at pages — at pages the question presented is whether may constitutionally require an association of employees to contribute to the costs of collective-bargaining activities and undertakings in litigation to achieve these goals no more is imposed upon him by the clause than is described in the decisions of this court as operating under the first and fourteenth amendments the requirement that full union membership in a bargaining representative be " sufficiently close" to the rights of a union member is now well established co the court, in its concurrence in stated: the court reasoned: i do not interpret that decision to shelter the constitutional rights of a nonmember employee, whose membership is not only "fully understood" or "coercive" by the individual to freedom of speech, association, or advocacy, and of the right to refrain from union activities i do not interpret the constitution to require that a union label not generally worded, imagination, or petition of employees to contribute to the expenses of exclusive representative representation nonetheless do not understand the court to suggest that the statute may properly be said to raise serious constitutional problems because of its application to an objecting employees free speech and associational rights i do not interpret the court to suggest that rights to be limited to those for whom it addresses an appropriately defined class of employees often amount to an intolerable extent of the burden of obtaining recognition but under a states requirement that an individual be permitted to gaw on his premises is unconstitutionally vague the first amendment must be interpreted so broadly as to make it possible for the statute to be violated in the light of the particular enumerated circumstances of this case: see also and of the characteristics of a case dealing with the statute are thus often relevant to the proper application of a no-aid standards if a litigant fails to meet these criteria, the court should employ an employee to oppose his job, a right that is specifically addressed to the specific rights he seeks to oppose, whether or not one is left free to do, or whether that right is abridged, his conviction is reversed the first amendment rights of and of the employees to belong to the government are those of the employees of the respondent, and not the government, as well as the of thesaid, of the right of union security to release and to bargain collectively with teachers, administrators, and other law enforcement officers the power to authorize the use of exacted funds for these purposes is broad the power to provide for the use of exacted funds is therefore inherent in the legislative function see of the to give a broad spectrum of statutory and regulatory provisions, defined as those who promote the overthrow of government by unlawful means and who are , the power to initiate appropriate legislation is also the power to initiate appropriate laws for internal governance is therefore broad an employer in the private sector is a recognized property owner of property, not a government agency or a government agency he is a corporation owning the property or a government building; the government is a state agency to represent in the political process the government needs to be and is further a unique contribution to the association corporate charter property in the state is a private corporation, not a government agency or instrumentality of the government the corporation, a union to have the

constitutionality of the obscenity law was held to be unconstitutionally vague, despite the statement in of the fifth amendment a state is not required to admit to the jury any matters in the prosecution during a voir dire proceeding or on appeal, and is left wholly unclear, and in order to have the most meaning provided moreover, a showing of the films is a very different matter from showing other sexual scenes involving the kind of sexual episodes which, when displayed in a physically oriented but not in a certain setting, are described as cases of the kind which are legally

deemed a "practical action" under the / clause, the court: d, at d, at emphasis added finally, because it is not expressly included in the defendants responses to certified questions, we are unconvinced that the alleged more important element of such procedures was not present in the context of the obscenity determination as to the second element, it is to be noted that the materials in the complaints were as constitutionally protected yet while these elements provide essentially the same measure of guidance to the jury in assessing the constitutional claims for the jury, we do not think that these instructions must necessarily be followed in determining the constitutional claims urged by the defendants, which the court is obliged to have adopted so far as we are told, the juries will be able to craft appropriate rules for deciding constitutional questions which they believe will be raised by them if the time and style of the evidence is forwarded by the evidence it may be urged that such notice is completely unobjectionable by the same informatory and the reasons for the seizure of the allegedly obscene materials but we cannot perceive no basis for the decision of the court, nor think the proper standards by which we may differ with respect to certain criminal cases which, while not necessarily all here, are applicable roth states is said to be that when materials presumptively protected under the first amendment are found to be obscene, notwithstanding the special prosecutor had to determine the constitutionality of the statute under which the materials were being distributed but the weight of the judges own precedents and this case is that there is no constitutionally significant difference between a conclusion on the basis of the evidence before the court and that a determination on the issue of evidence for the proposition that a defendants decision in a nondouble proceeding or proceeding for the proposition that there was at least a preliminary judicial proceeding and that there was sufficient evidence to support the judgment that there was no error whatever to warrant the convening of the jury it may be argued that evidence of such a tiny adverse effects on the development of constitutionally protected rights but that argument was rejected by the court of of of and, indeed, was not pressed in this case our cases have long held that in a civil proceeding as a private civil proceeding, there are a special prosecutor to present a claim for a preliminary injunction, grounded in the first and fourteenth amendments, to close a full adversary proceeding to a defendant in a state-court proceeding in this case the challenge to the constitutionality of a state statute is brought by a state court, and is adjudged in the first instance by the highest federal courts in this case we are dealing with a state proceeding under a statute alleged to violate the fourteenth amendment to which the plaintiff has been denied rights on the merits by the court the opinion of the court makes no effort to justify its holding on the merits the question presented is whether a state court may issue a declaratory judgment under chapter a

national security considerations these restrictions on travel were necessary to preserve the release of passports prior to travel were thought by history to show that was not peacetime discuffed generally after travel were marked not valid for travel, but peacetime passports were necessary in peacetime because passports were required in peacetime peacetime passports were marked not valid for travel even after travel were marked not valid for travel because of political or national security considerations and hearings at executive places; passports were necessary in peacetime because they were not required by law these restrictions on travel were necessary in peacetime whenever travel were marked not valid for travel, but are reasonably related to travel the travel restrictions were

it seems to have been the fact that the facts are identical showings non-binding was well known the reason the did not, and understandably desire to, say, that the reason for the enactment of the and of the and of the and act was to protect the rights of those imprisoned for the stated time and that the latter conduct was of concern to but when it was enacted, those facts are how related the government argues that the act is manifestly overbroad because it is unconstitutionally vague as presently applied we find this argument unpersuasive the court concluded that the act was not unconstitutionally vague, because the vagueness of the act was unclear and substantial a court might and probably refrain from deciding a facial constitutional challenge based on the first amendment if the government did not believe it intended to restrict the authority of the constitution to an overbreadth doctrine indeed, in itself the court focused on the acts authority to censor the manner in which the court avoided the constitutional issue as this court has often observed that a statute susceptible of sweeping and improper application will not be vague when it threatens to inhibit free expression because of these possible applications, the act is not facially invalid under the clause, and because it is unconstitutionally vague, even when its application may not constitutionally be applied to protected conduct, it may be said that it is impermissibly vague or indefinite finally, we need not address issues that may be raised in this court, particularly when a district court has not had the opportunity to review a court decision might have the benefit of briefing and argument if he exhibits the oral record of the proceedings in these circumstances, we see no reason to treat this improvident portion of the decree invalid insofar as it is read as we noted in the the only alternative that would be consistent with the constitution is the interlocutory authority of this court the fact that the judgment of the court of should be reversed is as potentially relevant as the case with respect to the fourteenth amendment is of no significance in ascertaining whether the judgment before us is based is one for which the courts must examine the isolated acts of state or federal judges with these observations join and of the judgment the language of the act is unconstitutionally vague, though, the existence of a prior civil enforcement scheme is not a self-wielding sword nor is this the only relevant constitutional objection to this procedure the act created a right to appear on the statehouse premises as they might be hypotheticals or aroused by the enforcement of a criminal law that they had no warning the privacy interest protected by a first section of the act is the right of access to the courts, is implicated only if the enforcement of the law is likely to cause a civil restraint on the exercise of rights guaranteed by the constitution the first amendment prohibits criminal proceedings and only where they are actually reviewable whenever the information imparted by the law directly affects the constitutionality of the statute finally, the constitutional analysis is the institutional consideration of the balance in this case and the fact that the act allows access for criminal proceedings only where the accused happens to have the opportunity to appear on the ballot in the district court the second factor to be addressed is that the first amendment, standing alone, protects all citizens alike a right to know on the government there is no constitutional value to the defendant rights beyond the right to be informed of what he may believe, and to what extent, if any, in the above interests are protected the right of access to judicial proceedings is inherent in the defendants right to be heard on its property is an important subject to this limitations, and can be heard on its property as fully as the individuals right to be informed of their opinions without interfering with this right, there is no reason why the defendants rights to a fair trial conferred by the statute are beyond the reach of the statute at the same time the law can no more open a closed courtroom than the law at issue in this case since the courts reasoning is wholly untenable to the limitations on the first amendment think it wholly satisfactory to suggest that if the state were left free to open trials to the defendant, the fact that the defendant is likely to be informed of the prosecution may be said by the prosecutor to be influenced by his witnesses who is summoned to testify furthermore, where there is no constitutional right to a fair trial, and the judge has no power to request a transcript of testimony but is there no constitutional right to be accused these statutes, therefore, may be constitutionally applied in a situation not directly related to the public access to the courtroom for, although the courts below were correct in asserting this factor would uphold the statute rather than adopting it the fact that the statute is open to the court, or for this record, might be useful if counsel were not required to be afforded the opportunity to be heard in this case the prosecution relied on the opportunity for counsel to be heard ======================================== SAMPLE 60 ======================================== the whole, and whether petitioner was a secretary of state of i do not think we would say there was a delegation at the stage at the hearings on this second occasion because the resented carpetbagger efforts to dominate the area of national defense, this incident cannot possibly pose a substantial constitutional problems there is no question of whether petitioners had established rights, and on this record we are not clear in determining the adequacy of this alleged rights in the abstract there is no doubt that the took other action on changing procedural rules, which are aimed at setting barriers of the time during this entire period of administration, repeated requests for new enactments, and withheld opinions from private people as to justiciability and abstention from enforcement of its orders in short, our prior cases and underlying of require a definitive reading of the fourth amendment, as well as its text, and its interpretation of its application we need not and do not ignore the significance of the ambiguity of the language of prior decisions in this respect but this is not to say that we should in all circumstances hereafter be faced with a broad reading of the fourth amendment to determine the scope of the principles that doctrine, as we indicated in states the basis for the doctrine is that the constitutional amendment extends to just those rights of the other among the rights of the members of the other parties in the language of this court, we held that states were not required by the fourteenth amendment to include at page at pageand that this was contrary to our interpretation of the amendment in this case we consider whether petitioners may constitutionally be denied recognition of the right of association guaranteed under the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution before this question we may consider claims of state of at pages — at pages — and repeat them petitioners constitutional claim is that a requirement of nondisclosure for members of the legal profession by attorneys is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite in these circumstances we think the standards set out in the opinion of the court may be useful in interpreting the state constitution and of the states constitution at pages — at pages and periphery of the opinion of the court are the result of our failure to comply with petitioners rights of self-incrimination or other constitutional rights petitioners complaint alleges that the is not an unauthorized claim at first it seems to argue that this case is not one where the complaint alleges discrimination on the basis of sex, in violation of which it is entitled under of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution to the constitution of the states but petitioners allegation is no more likely the case is a claim of federal constitutional rights under the fourteenth amendment they do not allege that they are prohibited by the constitution from exercising their jurisdiction to enforce reasonable standards, there is no basis for the their claim that their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments will be violated nor do they claim that they have alleged any deprivation of legal rights under state law petitioners demurred to this argument by asserting that there is no constitutional ground for its application the rights under the fourteenth amendment are not to be denied because the provision fails to give the petitioner jurisdiction over this cause the court of thought it desirable to review the determination of the merits to determine whether the same constitutional basis as is applicable to the denial of the right to practice his profession it would be accepted as hypothetical and not constitutionally permissible to the merits but even if no constitutional basis is applied, it is the same person or persons denied all constitutional rights at least if they are members of the state with respect to whom they are authorized as a threshold matter, we reject the argument that there is no constitutional basis for determining the reasonableness of petitioners personnel duties under the statea fee which, in kind, is by definition not available to any lawyer, but which is equally available to other members of the press who are targeted by it or other personal and by the state in respect of legal services, is by definition not available by law it is true that in the case of two assignments of error on the state dand the claim that it is error to counsel for them is made without due process of law it would be no matter to the remotest of the case for further definition of the basis of the state procedures under which these proceedings might be disposed of on the basis of the testimony of the accused or their counsel, in the light of the extensive statement of the court ofthe basis for the courts decision in this case is affirmed in all respects the holding is flatly stated in the margin in this respect the case is solely on the ground that the admission of the evidence as a admission to the was not a admission of theand therefore, there is no basis for a conclusion that the admission of the evidence as a admission was contrary to the constitution the entire case was thus put by one who, like the one here, claimed to be uncontradicted the only evidence which could conceivably be obtained is that under the admission of the defendant to the appellanta walked by him could not convict if he ======================================== SAMPLE 61

to obtain a quorum was required to have voted in the general election the justifications for the restriction on the requirement were that the president be and of his assistant be and that he was not represented by the majority rather than by the vote bond then united on the ground that it was not, he stated, he declared that he would have an opportunity to do with the delegate; that it was his decision to exclude the delegates from the other fields in ourand therefore that it was his decision not to delegate to a delegation to the states and we granted certiorari to review his application for admission to the we conclude that the first amendment rights of the chapters are infringed by the limitations on the first amendment rights of political association in the private sector the judgment of the court of is reversed and the cause is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion the first amendment to the states constitution provides that is the government state of ex rel patterson the first amendment to the states constitution provides that the government shall not violate the clause of the states constitution a state violates the and clauses of the fourteenth amendment by knowingly setting fire in the public schools to teach moral and religious beliefs and beliefs which it believes would advocate the fifth amendment also provides that a person can be denied or withheld and be denied admission to the bar of if he swears falsely that he does not advocate overthrow of the government he may be denied admission to the bar on the ground that he does not advocate overthrow of the government by unlawful means, and he may be barred from the post office of the state by reasonable grounds from the state by evidence that he does not advocate overthrow of the government by unlawful means he is entitled to be held to have violated the fourteenth amendment by evidence that he failed to comply with the standards of good moral character by falsely attached to it and that he failed to meet the qualifications required by the fourteenth amendment to be a and to cooperate with the restrictive standards of due process of law the evidence showed that the prosecutor had informed him that it was not to be held to have under law that he had not qualified for admission to the bar on the grounds that he failed to meet the qualifications required by the fourteenth amendment the court emphasized that the record did not establish procedures and that it had no basis for rejection of his application the procedural requirement of due process is satisfied by mere allegations and affidavits, but the court refused to pass upon the claim the requirement of due process is satisfied by a claim of equal protection in itself, and a claim of justiciability is presented these are merely a claim of equal process but the concept of due process is not a license to claim a right to a shortened trial procedure with the constitution of the state, the court held that due process means a speedy process and right to a transcript and a state trial were serious needs the court, however, gave insufficient recognition to the fact that its holding led a little short time to deny the right to a speedy trial was accepted by the court in as a limited one: i do not interpret the fourteenth amendment or even the fourteenth amendment, as making rights for me, the fourteenth amendment and the fourteenth amendments require every state employee to claim a right to a statement of reasons and a hearing for a jury trial co state of this is not to be read as sanctioning a denial of due process, a function which the fourteenth amendment was designed to respect the first and fourteenth amendments are also relevant as well as respect for the opportunity afforded by the fourteenth amendment with due process a fourteenth amendment claims which are infringed by state tort law the fourteenth amendment and the fourteenth amendment violate a constitutional guarantee the freedoms of the and are of those fundamental to liberty and do not depend on the presence of individual and property they embrace terms in literature and, indeed, both constitutionally and extensively stated, references to and an assumed connotation as well as reason and experience in this field of literature it is in the area of first amendment that thought we would not throw into constitutional protection the fourteenth amendment area claims of the individual in a case of mob involvement in a situation not here involved i would also add that thought it dealt with the fourteenth amendment and the clause, but not with the fourteenth amendment at the very beginning there was also the court relied on the fourteenth amendment for asserting the existence of federal rights, and the amendments have considered various aspects of the substantive law specifically involved in this case in addition, these amendments provide that a state should not do so by the standards that we are competent to accord such exercises bolling of this court has upheld state jurisdiction states and see of such cases are different, however, have not without significance in this case some of those cases involved rights of freedom of association in the first eight amendments, see of of and ======================================== SAMPLE 62 ======================================== ensure that the high public receive information from a commercial source is far more relevant to a governmental purpose to which it is dedicated we think the court of correctly determined that the government interests of the highest public respect did not justify its refusal to apply strict scrutiny, and that the governments interests in this case are sufficiently important to outweigh its concededly legitimate interest in the security of the we hold that it is a permissible time to consider whether a statute requiring the keeping of public employees requested information to give the information outweighed its interest in preserving the security of the as we said in dissenting footnotes omitted more important than the constitutional interest at stake in this case, there is no right to those materials which are relevant to an inquiry into private affairs, as the government itself has done nor can it be said that the or clause is violated by its strong and uniquely understood, when the test seeks to preserve its confidence in government employees we think it important to note that there can be no doubt that, in interpreting the clause, a of the first amendment is to be read to prohibit the application of fully accepted standards of fair notice to public officials more important, the protection of which includes informers the government in this case, petitioners have made clear that the government must accommodate the free speech rights of government employees whose duty of fair notice is essential to a free society petitioners here, by contrast, argue that the plain language of the statute as a whole is insufficient protection of national security we think this argument rests on the assumption that all of the information furnished to the government by virtue of the act was already supplied by the government agents and would be destructive of that basic objective we can, of course, no purpose to the congressional actions we said, were the prerogative of federal immunity, which, as has been previously argued by the government, would permit the collection of millions of dollars from its revenue we would not hold that federal immunity should be given to government agents for want of data, as opposed to requests for records and the collection of millions of dollars in a similar vein, we held that the governments immunity from suit under the immunity from suit on the grounds of the states does not constitute an immunity we therefore hold that the immunity does not attach to persons who are the subject of an or who, after notice, may request federal immunity on request title officials in testified that they were performing a wholly non-jeanial investigation, and that they had a general problem of complying with the subpoena of the federal immunity he explained that a would have to remove or to eliminate a violation of this act, and that to avoid immunity would he do the great public good, in an open, nonaccusatory proceeding, to respond to any suggestion that an investigation of an executive agency or a state agency was not motivated by the executive and judicial function in the act of stated: in this respect, the legislative function commands there is no comparable purpose to the immunity of federal immunity from prosecution for use as evidence in conducting congressional business only when a witness is subpoenaed by a grand jury to produce documents relevant to a criminal investigation is the testimony of the witness it must be allowed to be produced at that time by his refusal to respond to the or his witnesses a generally which requires that the witness be given immunity on account of his information and the identity of his witnesses is marked by the same application of the immunity to summons directed to the witness because it is his own declaration that there is no immunity for documents such as the or the which merely called for and necessarily appears on the receipts to the witness or his testimony in the event of a exchange of such a thing, we held there that the fifth amendment protects the person from being compelled to produce a statement concerning his own testimony before a grand jury and by his cross-examination we are not dealing here with a immunity claim, however, because the complaint in this case was filed in a way which indicates a purpose to require the testimony of an ordinary man absent such a claim, we cannot fault the abstract standards of the fifth amendment to the protection of the general rule of procedure for immunity which the requirements of the fourth and fifth amendments require that we give full scope to the fifth amendment which it is designed to provide for rights of the press the judgment of the court is reversed and the cause is remanded to the court of for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion if this is not so think it is perfectly to be free to think of a statement of this case which does not deal with the immunity of the or clause to follow that approach would look to the actions of the and clause at hand in the light of that they do not involve actions by citizens or their republication of documents introduced before it by customs officers nor can it fairly be said that the court is fully aware of the long history of the first amendment the clause of the first amendment contains no such provision, and therefore believe, alone would affirm the judgment of the court the plurality opinion, which we said, prevents the

whether is actually a legitimate time, place, and manner regulation to the effect that it would be likely if a reasonable time, place, and manner regulation to be achieved in a reasonable manner is not narrowly drawn to achieve that objective, and we find no constitutional objections to the procedure here, no matter what standard we find to be applies to this practice the court of held that the record contained sufficient evidence justifying the conclusion that this claim was clearly rejected by the court ofand set aside its application with prejudice solely because it was presented in the context of this record we do not think that both procedural conclusions are correct the court of made no opinion on the record as to whether it viewed the motion here as a search for any lawful occasion but our conclusion is unworkable and may be abstract, but we think the record as a clear one and, if it so appears, presents a clear constitutional question of law there is no occasion to consider the constitutionality of this procedure here, and our recent decision in cannot be said to be limited to the question of whether a particular motion picture, or movie may be admitted to the general warrant of the theaters in question but, rather, our cases are unconstitutionally isolated from the general rule that we must, and will be considered only if a total case of such a tiny neighborhood, and not merely there is a genuine factual dispute as to whether the seizure of a film from a commercial theater is constitutional such a description of the motion picture theater, which may constitutionally be said to involve a probable cause of action under law presents no realistic threat to the exhibition of films protected by the first amendment in this case we are not faced with the need to identify the films at all, and we have only to determine whether the films alleged particularly depict accurately the films in the present films the description of the films is intended to be limited solely by the abstract, in the abstract, and, to be limited to a limited category of the films which are actually presented in the present record, but do not think the film can constitutionally be said to be obscene under this courts description of the films by lawful persons would raise a different question under the first amendment the substantive question here is essentially whether live entertainment in the present state of may ever be given under the first amendment to the states constitution we conclude, however, that viewing the films would have no constitutional problems if it were displayed under the standards set forth above, there is sufficient evidence and findings concerning the evidentiary basis of these films to support these contentions the record in this case does not permit any more conclusion than that petitioner has alleged that the films were obscene under the standards controlling review petitioners challenge to the motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim for federal jurisdiction under j of the and secondary act of b ed , which provides in relevant part: unless the individual resisting alleged a threatened commission of a crime, he must recognize that the films are obscene; a warrant to search of films containing obscene films is required to describe the films containing obscene matter; and a failure to satisfy the requirements of orderly decision whether the films appear in violation of the fourth amendment, or a suitable non-maritalism of sex the films are therefore in a very real sense different from the instant cases because they are films that are wholly private, the judgment of the court of is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the singular sensitivity to the finality of deciding cases is reflected in the two chief differences of both precedents and our present ruling in this case: the seizure of films containing nudity from a commercial theater within the meaning of the fourth amendment is one under the fourth amendment from the threatened use of the public rights-of-way in deciding the constitutionality of its ordinance we emphasize that we emphasize that counsel for the state of are also present holding that this ordinance is not unconstitutionally vague and overbroad because it impinges upon rights protected by the first and fourteenth amendments in and this court held that police may not properly be required to hold par or other patrons in a residential neighborhood without prior warning as to the message being conveyed; instead, the court expressly said: vague ordinance is based on states the purpose of the ordinance is directly related to the general notice requirement that a persons other than one actually apply for a permit to talk before a police officer appellant claims that he is being held in this case to the effect that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite; both, his prior warning statute suffers from a different constitutional infirmity he claims that the ordinance infringes on the area of first amendment rights first, he claims, the ordinances are overbroad because they do not provide for a speedy administrative hearing, since the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite we are dealing only with the constitutionality of the ordinance, and, accordingly, we do not only ======================================== SAMPLE 64 ======================================== law them were used, and therefore are not within the reach of the first amendment the court in this case does not explain how this distinction is disputed the first amendment interests involved are those of the respondents, and of the and the interests of those of the petitioner are apparently, of course, no different conclusion can be reached the court seeks to assert these interests, it says that the level of first amendment protection applied to government action deprives these of the fundamental rights that are guaranteed by the first and fourteenth amendments for this purpose, it justifies affording appropriate protection to the exercise of first amendment rights to the of those who are not prisoners, despite governmental custody, from inculcating rights, or for the purpose of protecting the security of the inmates by such order further, it is said that these rights may not be abridged in an absolute sense as a necessary condition, this court has held that prisoners may not be denied the opportunity to be heard within the prison by the inmates themselves, see state of may not claim the right to be present at the prison by merely as a claim of entitlement on account of the rights of confrontation and cross-examination; such claim may be made in a habeas proceeding involving the claimed right of confrontation and cross-examination by inmates in this case, there is no claim that the respondents, in this case, asserted the asserted rights on their face to the prisoner, and hence a claim by the prisoner to be heard at the allegability of that claim on this claim for damages is well established but although prisoners are not permitted to be retained on account of their rights and since prisoners are barred from asserting those rights, they cannot claim a right to be free of any sort from prison in other circumstances prisons are not an exception to that requirement, and while prison officials may be required to enforce their own codes of fairness, their assertions of constitutional rights may be proved by a review of the courts traditional practice of deciding individual cases to call witnesses, see state of or cases if the record is not followed, the prison inmate is at least an absolute requirement that he be allowed to call the witnesses and state documentary evidence the court suggests that in order for a prisoner to be informed as to his accusers and that if the accusers are, they are likely to be present in prisoners ante, atas the court recognizes, the inmate may file a statement of the reasons for a wide-scale investigation, conducted by the corrections personnel, see c prisoners can be terminated without the aid of any counsel of their guards if, as the court assumes in this case, this information may not be vindicated by an inmates merely because it would have been aided credibility, see but if prison officials should at least some opportunity to be informed as to why, in order to render a particularized need for confidentiality in order to maintain institutional security, see, e the courts authority to collect evidence in such proceedings cannot be explained either by the court confidence in the probable outcome of a probable cause or a determination of whether there are also alternative means of obtaining the desired information but such a decision is not absolute the court must make these statements in order to indicate why they are at it must be admitted that there are alternative means of obtaining the desired information that the government may not demand in order to be published in a more effective way as the court of stated dissenting, the court suggests that there are alternative means of obtaining the desired information ante, atand that the court it is true that the government might require that these alternatives be means less effective in some instances, since under my view the government may require advance notice and an opportunity to be heard within the prison, see : a law of specificallying prison officials to present evidence of their selective enforcement and observe the requirements of the institution finally think the court is quite right in holding th least some opportunity is given to the courts opinion in my view, these alternatives are of sufficient constitutional significance to the courts conclusion that the governments response to this inquiry is also untenable the court relies on a long-standing "strict construction" of the of that prohibits inmates from receipt of packages containing personal items by doing so, the court relies on a long-standing "designated legal standard" that does not unduly limit protected liberties or prohibitions constitutionally protected materials, but instead concludes that this standard is appropriate bobson is correct in asserting that the seizure of

statute did not require professional employees to refrain from paying regular paychecks, service-exercise days and a special amount of personal leave to each other in addition, the statute required teachers to hold a religious exercises for a specified time a month before a school could add a notice of disagreement on the merits of a proposed letter, specifying that it did not meet the religious standards set out in the statute, the "religious gism" exception would have been inconsistent with the purpose of the court also found that the appellee school system did not impermissibly impermissibly interfere with the free exercise of religion the court of therefore concluded that the statute was unconstitutionally vague, and granted summary judgment for the appellee the courts below determined only whether is a "constitutionally vague" over the meaning of the court of also concluded that the appellee schools presented a different set of facts concerning the character of the school in its educational facilities the schools challenged the school district activities and held a day of religious exercises in a similar fashion we postponed further consideration of this question by consideration of our jurisdiction until we conclude that the court of properly rejected the constitutional claims advanced by the appellee the court, however, did not issue a judgment on the merits of the appeal, and consequently held that abstention is not required where there are no discernible interests for the schools or the schools are involved in other words, the court of for the fifth declared the schools to be a government entity because the schools are a religious school and, as we understand it, this court has never declared that determination in this case the question of our future decisions is whether education is a government entity because the activities of the schools are religious activities or whether it is so characterfully defined that the activities of the schools are religious activities of the schools the question is whether this in the constitutional sense supports a claim by the government of a disturbance of the clause we hold that satisfying the criteria set forth in the act is not an unreasonable means of resolving the issue * the case is a good example of aphorism about the degree of coercion upon the free exercise of the press the article in the is devoted to a detailed description of the symptoms of family relations and the needs of those who purport to support the cause of action and their protection of the "roaden of the makes it clear that: "udity" and "educational freedom the press are the vital precenominative means of fostering and fostering civil rights " analyze these concerns and therefore do not enjoy the first amendment rights of the press instead, as argued in support of the asserted justification, the act is said to be applicable and thus falls within the "tast " the extent to which this principle rests is the basic objective of the first amendment, and is the governments intent to achieve a compelling state interest the need to achieve this compelling state interest is not implicated, and can be said to extend those claims to any greater degree than any present we hold that the act is not a "public accommodation" under the first amendment appellee nevertheless contends that is a government action and therefore not a "fundamental right " the clause of the fourteenth amendment and the fourteenth amendment in support of its position, appellee contends that is distinguishable from the many decisions of this court which have sustained similar governmental action in we said: in areas of social and economic policy, the government is a subject of special and special security to the environment at quoting as a step further than is the relationship of government in a particular manner government action affects not the unique or to discrete issues, such as freedom of the press, or liberty of the press a generally applicable resolution under the clause is no less important to the values protected by the first amendment in the first place, the governments freedom of conscience political leaders may be small, and generally unreachable, in their unfettered sense of the values of our free society see in the second of us, however, government must respect the freedom of individuals to associate for redress of their grievances in doing so, we broadly return our property to the public accommodations andmil area the constitutionally protected rights of the people are neither absolute nor under the shelter of the first amendment the distinctions between governmental and religious groups are supported by the realities of the present case, ======================================== SAMPLE 66 ======================================== reasons for refusing to look at the rules make no distinction in the opinion on the issue of heart the courts interpretation of the statute is properly taken to have the benefit of the differing prosecutor and the parties the question is whether the act survives a challenge by a federal court the act is unquestionably a violation of the of chapter of the act is of the act as amended a ed iv, which directs a federal court to enjoin violations of the act by a "state officer " a of the act, in turn, proscribes the a private cause of action while this case involves a challenge by a federal court to litigate a challenge based on the first amendment, it is evident that the result of this courts private cause of action necessarily survives a declaration because the policy involved is a private cause of action under the act and is not conclusive of the merits, we must assume that the party opposing it has a sufficiently close nexus with the suit to support a private cause of action, and the court must then determine whether the act is sufficiently tailored to support a compelling governmental interest to justify the restriction under the first and fourteenth amendments as this court has held, see atn this protection does not extend to private cause of action, and is not satisfied by the limitations on action here at issue the court established that petitioners claims not explicitly included within the jurisdiction of the act, but also correctly separated the application from a facial challenge focused on predecessor statutes at this point, the court has repeatedly held that the right to receive information under of the act is protected by federal statutes because the first amendment protects the private parties use atn of since the right is closely related to the rights of both private parties to a criminal proceeding, the court has determined that the right to receive information under of the act is a constitutionally protected right accordingly, the judgment of the court is at this type of proceeding concerns a statute that does not provide gender-based classification but would establish a constitutionally protected right * is the legislature of the state of enacted by the legislature, most states, in order to protect the rights of individuals against the gender-based discrimination contained in the statute classifications based on gender, gender, and gender are an important element of the statutory rights must be weighed against the local background the statutes plain language, and the first amendment, purports to create a classification scheme that systematicallyforces the basic guarantee of equal protection of the laws the pluralityshowever, argues that this case is different from our traditional free exercise analysis because, unlike this case, the statute does not provide sex-based classification clear on its face the burdens on interstate travel and the disruption of women seeking abortions for women seeking abortions often raise serious questions of statutory construction the pluralitys assumption that the same is not the first amendment, as the court recognizes, protects interstate travel and therefore presents important constitutional concerns that are implicated by a classification regulation if the clinics in a nonresidents were unresidents, residents could be prosecuted more favorably than citizens whose views about contraceptive products the court seems to suggest that this sort of regulation is not the court does not explain why this is so the court did not explain why the statutes definition of "cuspicuously" referred to above at that time: indeed, the court concedes this dubious conclusion by making clear that it is the fact that a case may arise in a state court based on the statute is irrelevant, for under the first and fourteenth amendments a claim may not be made that a state is completely precluded from enforcing it from doing so therefore, even if it were possible to dispose of the case on its face, the pluralitys construction of the statute will serve the asserted purpose of prevention of travel the court also attempts to justify its holding by reference to the prevention of travel by women seeking abortions and other family planning services provides a definition of the class characteristics that could not be used to achieve the purpose of preventing or violating women seeking abortions to be sure, in its opinion the complaint does not show that any class-based differential treatment is necessary to further those goals that the statute seeks a classification is simply not irrational and is based on the purpose of the statute finally, there are built-in elements in this case when a complaint is filed against a state complaint, a single federal district court should render the claim against a facial constitutional challenge in its initial motion in this case, the court considered whether the class-based differential rule to be applied in this case violated the clause the court found the claim against the plaintiffs in a pre-law prosecution and the respondents in a federal habeas case, pursuant to in its first petition in a petition for declaratory and injunctive relief the court also concluded that the case was not a pre-law claim within the meaning of and that the statutory provision did not violate the clause in its first petition on the court declined to enjoin enforcement of the gender-based differential provision in its second ======================================== SAMPLE 67 ======================================== legal process, to prove a violation of if the definition is neutral enough to include the forbidden category, then the court must balance the governments interest in protecting the right of expressive association is no greater than the interest in protecting individuals from harmful conduct we are justified if we are offended by the states interest in protecting the dignity of foreign diplomatic personnel that protection of foreign diplomatic personnel is also desirable when the primary manpower needs imprecisions and arteries, see countervailing public interests are necessary the court found, in the alternative, that the regulations were unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, and enjoined the collection of hardback books and packages and the destruction of books and packages by government officers this judgment of the court was reversed on appeal and we are the same court held, because of the unconstitutionality of the court of for the fifthstated, however, that the regulation impermissibly interfered with the first amendment rights of foreign diplomatic personnel we agree with the court of that, notwithstanding the widespread deference to foreign officials and other domestic banking institutions, a national security risk of travel by foreign diplomatic personnel is sufficient to outweigh the deterrent effect upon travel to our most basic secrets of international law in the regulations, the secretary of presented evidence of respondentss purpose was to promote security the court held that the secretary did not claim that the secretary had acted in contravention of the regulations by showing that they had been discriminatorily applied to for travel to any greater extent than the right of citizens to travel the court of held that the secretary had failed to make showing that passports were necessary in peacetime foreign countries was vague the secretary questioned whether passports were necessary in peacetime, stating that passports were necessary in peacetime, stating that passports were necessary in peacetime and that passports were necessary in travel because of conditions of war, national security considerations were not being passports, the secretary questioned whether passports were necessary in peacetime, stating that passports were required solely for travel, but rather were required by the secretary to peacetime passports because of alleged risk of travel as we pointed out inprior to the secretarys passport does not appear to be necessary in peacetime, and travel is not restricted in peacetime passports were marked not valid for travel because they were marked not valid for travel because of

political association protected by the first and fourteenth amendments this contention is without merit speech is well within the protection of the first amendment, and may be prohibited without violating other guarantees of the first and fourteenth amendments of this is not the business of picketing and thus not the business of providing a constitutionally guaranteed forum for the expression of views this is an obvious truth in this very case it is the right of expressive association, the right to be free from frontal restraint in, or underval of, first amendment rights, to engage in such speech, to be meaningful, and periodically reach this conclusion see state of parte if it were a legitimate time to explore the history of the fourteenth amendment, then that did not mean that the amendment exceeded its limits and that its purpose was invalid the argument goes on to the great lengths to which helps to ensure freedom to communicate on the public streets and places of worship and religious activities, and the demands of the fourteenth amendment we agree with the conclusion that a statute requiring a license from the nominee of political parties is a valid time, place, and manner regulation the judgment of the court of is therefore it is my view that the court of rejected this position and ruled out the validity of the regulations as applied to the facts of this case but since the validity of the licensing scheme was not, as the court of apparently concedes, determined by the court ofproperly construed the statute as making the licensing scheme constitutionally invalid i would therefore reverse the judgment of the court of the court correctly stated that in a hypothetical case there are other considerations to be weighed first, the court of noted that the challenged editorial discretion in this case was limited by and its equally absolute holding that the act did not apply to the imposition of license taxes in a manner alleged to constitute the of of the same kind and extent in this case: as noted above, the challenged regulations were unconstitutionally vague and vague we are not dealing with a license that requires, under a express mandate, submission penalties or sanctions of indefinite duration for a period of time second, there are no regulations that the promulgation of the in this case was intended to be arbitrary or discriminatory or to have the effect of controlling the use of the stations facilities by the broadcast media, or disproportionate intrusions by the unorthodox or the broadcasters at this time the court heard the testimony concerning the regulations and could have met the under the internal guidelines and the states requirements that the prospective ban be deemed content neutral the majority opinion as to noted that the result in the case was that the advertising restrictions were unconstitutionally vague this conclusion is thoroughly supported by our prior cases the first provision dealing with a candidate for public office was held to apply only after notice and hearing of a candidate for public office had been held held the act of authorized the to promulgate regulations designed to provide that the candidate for public office not be involved in partisan elections the second section reserved to the as a federal provision to promulgate rules for the use of candidates for elective office, a provision that did not purport to assure full and candid presentation of controversial issues, and provided that the broadcaster the public importance of the communications industry, and the risks of such self-censorship, might well be served by additional rules designed more effective in fulfilling its obligations under the public interest in preserving a system of direct application of the public right to a station of political broadcasting, even though the subject was an absolute one, see ibid , it is obvious that the statutory requirements dealt with a matter of public importance rather than implementing rules which might govern media judgments of individual review finally, we cannot assume that the opinions in and are carefully scrutinized under the first amendment but the opinion is also significant the case has provided that in a case dealing with a license tax, the district court should be required to examine the license law in light of the relevant circumstances as the cases relied on by the court recognize, however, the state may not do we have held today in and in that the challenged ordinance is not an overbroad one, see n but this is not such a case there are other important, real issues implicated by this ordinance is that in all the applications of the provision defining citizens in the case of a facial challenge to a state tax, the court should ask whether the provision is facially as applied to in this court has upheld a law limiting the amount of money a candidate may make to his own candidate we are not persuaded that a law that seeks to ensure that the funds are independent of the public will pass through a constitutionally protected right of access to the broadcasting industry the more difficult constitutional questions are whether a law compelling the to fund speech in a nonrepresentational manner infringes on the rights of those speakers appellants advance two principal challenges to the provision as valid on its face they argue that the first amendment protects speech rights of other speakers within the reach of ======================================== SAMPLE 69 ======================================== give an important and useful role i would therefore reverse the judgment of the court of in state of at the laws of hereinafter referred to the in the laws as the statute is , the was given a broad, broad mandate to investigate the objections of a member of the they were duly enacted and abrogated by the government as well as the however, the examination by the was allowable under the new law throughout these laws, the has focused on taxpayer standing in terms of conduct and operations the as well as the law has been construed, is not the only exception which indicates that this would be done ordinarily when a person challenges the constitutionality of the statute on its face thus the and laws that is, the has not been the reason for enacting, rather, the law in the case before us is properly deemed i agree that if the prohibitions of the first and fourteenth amendments are violated, the of the states do not have a power to permit a member to represent a foreign country for, as the court of observed, this statute will not permit a citizen to express his views on a contingent fee the is therefore authorized to issue regulations in any place of the time of its receipt in addition, the is expressly authorized to issue rules and regulations with respect to currency, the statutory authorization of which is complete as that it is this section in no way negates the fact that the requirements are expressly noted thus, the fact that the foreign and foreign policies are being implemented by the secretary of the is immaterial to its validity the section itself as well as its validity applies to the foreign financial transactions which may in some way affect or offend the compulsory disclosure of ones own home in the case of a challenge to the foreign reporting requirements under the act, the secretary of the is authorized to require the registration of foreign financial details of foreign financial transactions which are reports required by the foreign financial institution the secretary is authorized to require the registration only of the financial transactions with foreign financial institutions which are foreign financial transactions by virtue of the enactment of the foreign and foreign financial provisions, the secretary is authorized to require reports from all foreign financial transactions in foreign currency transactions from the foreign currency, and in any event a possible fine and a fine of imprisonment may be imposed in view of the ex parte stamp of the secretary of the statute, the secretary of the act cannot conclusively demonstrate the validity of his regulations and its consequences for foreign financial transactions the foreign financial transaction reports are reported by the foreign financial institution involved in this litigation these transactions are reports which lead in the highest shadow of the foreign financial transactions, financial transactions which have been held by numerous individuals to come within the purview of the secretary in the case of foreign financial transactions, the foreign financial transaction now asserts the financial organization with which it deals in ascertaining the nature of the foreign financial transaction in which these transactions are reported, the secretarys regulations promulgated by the secretary are expressly authorized to require reports from the financial institutions involved in foreign financial transactions in compliance with the foreign reporting requirements and the foreign financial transaction reports of the foreign financial transactions of foreign financial institutions authorizes the secretary to require reports from reports by the foreign financial institution involved in foreign financial transactions prior to the statutory time, the secretary has required reports from the foreign financial institutions involved in foreign financial transactions of foreign financial institutions a report from the related by the secretary must be filed within the foreign financial institution involved in foreign financial transactions, and reports of the financial institutions involved in the transactions of foreign financial institutions both the foreign and the domestic financial institutions involved in these reports will be kept strictly records, reports concerning the financial transactions and reports of the financial transactions required by the secretary in an institution of the foreign currency, the secretary is required by the act to register with the secretary of the foreign financial instruments which it charges them to be reports of the domestic financial transactions the reports from the reports of the domestic financial transactions required by the regulations are reported to the banks: checks upon the moneys of the currency transactions from foreign financial institutions which are required by the secretary to be kept, the person to be a financial customer this complete immunity attaches to the different situation condemned in the act and the secretarys fifth amendment challenge to the foreign currency transaction the fifth amendment also attaches to the fifth amendment, which in the foreign reports of the reports by the secretary to the secretary from the secretary of the secretary the court said: united states s court in noted the importance of fourth amendment

students from a generation; and from our proud knowledge that the have believed in the vast majority of the cases that is the basis on which we rely the court, by focusing on the activities of the that were conducted exclusively religious activities, did not receive any sort of religious observance because it did not do so with the observance of the or the tenets of their faith the importance of those interests is neither limited to nor lacking i find no occasion to consider these cases, for it is equally clear that they involve a sort of accommodation we do not decide in the government does not, however, lose its clause immunity by asserting that its members might be subject to reasonable regulations of the government any regulation of religious practice is unconstitutional and it is no different matter to say that governmental regulations of general application, whether subject to general or well-established usage, violate the clause when the government imposes burdens upon religiously motivated conduct because of their religiously motivated conduct, it does not mean that the government has a compelling interest in protecting the right to believe and practice once the government takes on a field of conduct that is within the reach of the clause, a burden is not imposed on the government but merely a less sensitive person as the government because the courts below applied this test inwe conclude that the publication of a publication was indeed not protected under the constitution, and accordingly the judgment of the court of should be affirmed appellee of a corporation is a corporation owning the exclusive right to purchase alcoholic beverages sold by it appellee also seeks a place of business, including the exclusive right to distribute liquor, liquor sold by it appellees are the persons who wish to engage in constitutionally protected activity, and they object to the administrative inconvenience of the licensees the shopping center in had a regulatory effect on the delivery of liquor by alleging that they were entitled to the exemption and of the court of held that the first amendment protects the right to engage in the speech at its home to obtain liquor in and their shopping center premises appellant claims that the regulation worked disparity of its sales activity in violation of the clause of the first amendment, and by depriving them of that opportunity the court of sustained this claim, and we noted probable jurisdiction * is a corporation owning the exclusive right to choose its own liquor retail lots in order to sell liquor for consumption it requires a public supermarket and real and real and real and real objective of the local community licensees for at least years have sought to equalize their liquor distribution and to physically block their operations in the airport licensed wholesalers are authorized to issue emergency deals with state authorization to purchase liquor from licensed wholesalers, who may purchase liquor from licensed wholesalers, who may purchase liquor from licensed wholesalers and retailers, who may exact sales from their home by a price price legislants also have a right to choose to sell their products, liquor by licensed wholesalers and retailers with less than this right may not be threatened, when common wholesalers and retailers and retailers require licenses to their stores, airport sales to purchasers, and deliverymen who have no physical barrier to the system as a condition to receiving valid merchandise, that right is effectively infringed by the issuance of licenses the appellees assert that the regulation worked a disparity of customers of the state between its business and its liquor distribution we cannot accept appellants claim that the regulation worked an impermissible relationship between the free speech and its interference with the free flow of commerce our decisions establish that the state must have a clear and present danger that it will be real and substantial as a result of its own licensing see and cases cited; in applying the test we have required the state to bear some of the same risks and problems of its own regulatory scheme: as a general rule, we have required the state to make reasonable licensing decisions with respect to a licensees holding there is no reason to invalidate the provision here because we have left open the question whether the licensing requirement at issue is constitutionally infirm because the concerns that we address are not present here and we agree that the judgment of the court of should be affirmed the judgment of the court of is therefore affirmed the case comes to us on appeal to the court, principally by the court, by the court, which held that, while films are commercial, the first amendment protects commercial speech and noncommercial speech the court held that the speech in question was of "public concern it is perfectly clear that the interest in avoiding prostitution and sexual assault is a valid one appellee did not assert that the public concern " or the court held that the proper analysis for determining when both the court and the court of applied

======================================== SAMPLE 71 ======================================== and thinks these cases as involving nothing more than the formulation of policy which, in its broadest sense, we are called upon to decide for ourselves in the absence of any body in the constitution that has been applied to a, the court is compelled to conclude, as the court of noted, that the and cases, like these involve questions of constitutional law and the obligation of fair notice to those courts which they do not properly call upon the courts to identify the requirements of fair notice and hearing under the conditions of a fair hearing, and without such a reasonable opportunity to be heard on such notice, it is a denial of due process of law as the court of said; it is simply plain enough that the clause of the fourteenth amendment forbade the application of provisions to procedure rather than review under the constitution itself we need not decide, however, whether the provisions of the first and fourteenth amendments will be enforced against the states under of the fourteenth amendment the first amendment will not be invoked to prevent states from denying admission to a state bar, of course, because it is used in such a way that we cannot read the fourteenth amendment, and has not yet been condemned by the states we are ordered to do this very question, which is set out in the margin we are required, on the one hand, to decide in the abstract, and to examine the provisions in the light of the fourteenth amendment for itself that provision requires appointment of the amendments not only of federal officers and officers but also of the state the constitution itself contains no provision concerning the states by which an citizen may not be denied admission to a state bar, even if there are any constitutional barriers that might arise if a citizen had been denied a state by the act of in the fourteenth, the phrase prior to its adoption de state of the court said in a similar provision, originally suggested by was introduced by the in the provoked the second clause of the fourteenth amendment reads: this is a close question the second clause was found in the in the first clause to be certain at that time, the second clause of the fourteenth amendment did not purport to be read it is a limiting construction of the fourteenth amendment there is no suggestion in the legislative history that intended to delegate to the states the power to prevent denial of admission to a bar an applicant who obstructs a proper investigation into his qualifications however, if this ever comes to us it is at this time that we are dealing with one of the two provisions before us, and not with one of them the court held that the entire statutory and constitutional provisions did not prevent those proceedings that had already commenced against the were pending, and therefore held that the entire provision did not constitutionally be applied the court said that had the power to prevent denial of admission to its bar on the grounds that it had failed to certify him because his refusal was contrary to a state constitution and the constitution he said that he could not be denied admission to the merely because he believed that it was because he believed that it was unconstitutionally discriminatory he said that a denial of admission to the bar was abridged he also said that denial of admission to the bar because of his refusal to comply with the constitution and the provisions of a fourteenth amendment because he was denied admission to the he also declared that denial of admission to the bar on the grounds of his refusal to comply with a requirement that he be given an opportunity to prove that he was denied admission solely because he had failed to comply with the requirements for admission to the he further claimed that he could not be denied admission because of his refusal to comply with a requirement to good moral character and that he was denied admission to the simply because he failed to comply with the requirements for admission to the he did not comply with the procedural requirement of procedural due process that he sought to claim two issues were mentioned: the procedures by which a state procedures are violated were unconstitutionally vague and indefinite, and therefore denied to an applicant who failed to comply with an examination of his qualifications by reason of his refusal to comply with the law two issues, however, were critical to procedural due process cases, and both sought separate rulings the court rejected these procedural contentions because it found no unconstitutionality of the procedures had been adopted in the present cases the court stated that procedures are not required that the procedures for admission to the bar will be declared unconstitutionally vague with respect to pretrial statements by counsel, the court also said that the procedure is unconstitutionally vague, because there is no doubt about its constitutionality in statethe court, of course, ruled that procedural due process rights could not be denied solely because of their inability to counsel however, this court was not asked to consider procedural due process claims, holding that procedural due process rights should not be denied solely because of their indigency such a procedure, it thought, denied due process and the denial of due process in the federal courts of the right ======================================== SAMPLE 72 ======================================== , and specific contributors, and an element of this general picture of the big adds thus, at a minimum, the record here suggests that was well aware of the many private problems that might arise if might have arisen in its and exhortation to of the act appellant was convicted in the states court for the of under instructions of the court and of the tenth amendment to the constitution of the states he appealed to the of the court which is granted and of the act of as added, but is denied the right to remain silent and to appeal to the court of the statutes are content-neutral regulation of speech the speech-related conduct covered by the statute is patently offensive and is therefore protected by the first amendment from state-law judgment b offensive to some members of our clause decisions which apply to a regulatory program in states where we upheld a state criminal statute, we did not invalidate even non-content regulations as there applied inthe court confronted an outright challenge by a state of here we upheld provisions of the act ofwhich made it unlawful to own films containing nudity, holding public nudity, and in movies containing nudity, in the public booths within feet of any unwilling addres in we invalidated a state provision aimed at the people or general concern in the near or in the workplace the relevant provisions of the act are therefore properly deemed unrelated to the protection of the first amendment the court concluded that both statutes were constitutional because they did not give the states an opportunity to prove their unlawful activities or that they might nonetheless be considered harmful to require states to utilize their streets in a residential neighborhood is a multiple step from our cases to reach this conclusion in our clause cases we have required such a distinction between speech on the premises and the public sidewalks within the building in we said: thus, under the first amendment principles could be viewed as controlling this case requires us to determine whether the court correctly held that the ordinance requiring the public to use of public streets to exhibit sexual conduct with is overbroad, because such a restriction might cause substantial harm to the residents interest in maintaining order and security the court determined that the citys sidewalks to be unconstitutionally vague because the breadth of the ordinance was unconstitutionally vague, we granted certiorari to appellee claims that the lack of standing to raise his constitutional challenge to the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague we do not decide that the iii of the states constitution in a state which could not, consistently with the constitution, be inhibited from denying similar access to other constitutionally protected expression in the future we are satisfied that appellee has alleged a claim on which relief may be granted we do not reach the first amendment issues here, because we do not decide these cases a state, consistently with the first and fourteenth amendments, may invoke its statute to assert its own right to be publicly observed see in this case we note that the iii may constitutionally be applied to appellees claim is not foreclosed by our decisions holding that may not be unconstitutionally applied in similar circumstances in each of these cases, the challenge to the ordinance falls within the zone of speech or press identified in the ordinance there can be no doubt that appellees may be constitutionally protected in the absence of the ordinance constitutionally could be prosecuted if they oppose the legal and constitutional questions they seek to challenge appellees therefore assert that the right to be free of the laws is unconstitutionally vague these cases are therefore not before us appellees brought this suit in the states court for the ofalleging that they are a corporation, the states whose members are to be the state ofthe corporation is the sole representative of the state the corporation is licensed to do business inand is the sole representative of that corporation, the the the the the the clerks of the in appellant was appointed to do business infurnishes by the president in the state at the time of appellants filed their complaint and pleaded guilty to a stipulation of facts asserting that this is the case in the amended a complaint in the court, and the court of for the of dismissed appellants complaint, alleging that they were members of bona fide religious sect and that they were members of bona fide religious denominations and that they opposed the decisions of theirsupervisory authorities to grant such assistance to persons lawfully who deemed to be antisocial or threatened with violence or other antisocial conduct in their amended complaint, appellants sought review of the court judgment under review of the court of the case is here under alleging that the right to participate in the and its members in their religious beliefs and law-council form of government is plainly not constitutionally protected from arbitrary governmental interference by the constitution the court also rejected appellants first amendment claim on the merits, and on the merits there the court reversed the judgment of the court because, under our decision in there was no evidence of doubt about whether first amendment claims might be raised by the appeal of the

wearing of an armbands is not protected activity we cannot with confidence reject all that reasoning the court does not suggest that the wearing of an armbands to a demonstration of opposition to this message violated the statute it is not clear that a state may deliberately or unwillingly demand that all students be allowed freely to conduct themselves proscribed for this purpose we cannot say that the application of its statutory trespass law to conduct as a means of protecting the public the pluralitys authority to order students not to participate in the demonstration was not broader than the constitution requires s applications are not invalid on their face instead, they represent the states consideration of the plurality concluded that it could not, for example, enter into the demonstration of a racial origin, noting that if a compelling state interest were not advanced by denying admission to applicants for admission to the states, so would a statute outlawing the admission of unwelcome materials we would be ignoring reality if we accepted the reason for the same judgment, however, if we accepted it immediately, however, the was raised to the very next question before us inand then, it would be overruled the pluralitymotion, however, did not accept this argument because it found merit in the constitution, for we might consider this question in the case, since it would be made in a posture of things that does not appear on the face of the statute therefore, it is in the states brief that we should vacate and remand this case so that the court of might consider this issue on the basis of the reasoning set forth above, we vacate and remand with instructions to enter judgment and invalidate the judgment below and remand the case with instructions to

adjudication of a federal constitutional claim k, also a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, and a, a, and a, a ed iv, and a, and a of in these actions, the secretary of and the have promulgated regulations for travel to persons seeking passports to travel in peacetime these are set forth in the regulations these are sweeping legislative findings that substantial travel inheres in these restricted areas of travel law, and are strongly indicate that serious passports, such as travel, are subject to qualification and travel, as travel, are presently held insufficient to legislate for travel in peacetime in addition, they require us to examine the statute and its consequences to ascertain whether there is probable cause for issuing passports for travel; whether a denies one in peacetime for travel to another; whether the secretary is in peacetime for travel in peacetime whenever travel is in peacetime if in peacetime was authorized under the act, passports were required in peacetime for travel to persons believed to be in peacetime whenever passports were issued in peacetime for travel to persons believed to be in peacetime whenever passports were marked by the and act; no passports were required; indeed passports were required; indeed passports were required by the periodically travel; indeed passports were required by the statute in peacetime travel were not limited to travel in peacetime under the act; passports were held in peacetime as provided in a statute prior to the present statutory and constitutional challenge, which were raised here, is now before us for adjudication by this court under it is our duty to construe statutes so as to avoid constitutional issues, not to strike it down, with the utmost fidelity to the policies of our constitution in the administration of these statutes specifically, the secretary has construed their statutory provisions dealing with travel in peacetime whenever passports were issued in the absence of the peacephen or constitutionally withheld authorization, the secretary has consistently construed their statutes and regulations to contain an implicit designation of the persons authorized to make travel in peacetime whenever passports were issued and have been issued compare re secretary of state of these are impressive credentials for our constitutionality under both the and act as authorizing a passport for travel in peacetime whenever travel is not authorized see secretary of state of statesto travel is a travel; passports are not the court has construed the statute to contain what is sufficient to protect travel; travel is not in light of this interpretation, it is true that travel in peacetime could not have escaped the statute by judicial act, as have previously enjoyed, but by travel in peacetime whenever passports were issued by persons previously authorized by section are not required by statute passports were marked not valid for travel, but indeed passports were required by statute nor is there any indication that passports were required as peacetime app restricted ======================================== SAMPLE 74 ======================================== amendment: both of the cases are in operation as well as in order to protect the rights of defendants, and not under color of the constitution in the court applied a presumption that there was probable cause to believe that defendant was guilty, while denying the right to challenge the constitutionality of an enactment by a state, this court stated that the validity of this presumption could be sustained only if the defendant was found guilty and found that he was guilty, and therefore that the alleged offense charged was committed by the defendant in the case the court held that the presumption was not required and that the defendant did not claim one of the characteristics stated in the decision the court of also concluded that it would be enough to consider the constitutionality of the presumption at stake because it was not clear that the presumption might be constitutionally applied as well the court held that the presumption should be waived if the facts supported its first contention that a defendant can be denied recognition of the presumption on the issue of constitutionality the court also concluded that the presumption was properly attached, not because the record contained a charge of the defendants unlawful advocacy of overthrow of government the court of rejected appellants contention that this presumption of constitutionality was adequate to the defense of the presumption, pointing out that the presumption did not rebutmit the claim by the jury and the court of that there was sufficient evidence to support the inference b the case also presents a very different situation one situation arose out of the question of the validity of an abstract proposition by the court and the court of that this issue was disposed of in the abstract, and the court reversed and remanded the case for reconsideration of that issue the decision of the court rested on a ground that it was error for the court of to rely on prior decisions of this court during the early th century the court held that state and federal law intruded upon this court the duty to cooperate with an independent judiciary in holding that the court stated: on the reasoning in of the court in & at pages at pages — the court, speaking through noted that this court has observed that the "no government objective" exists to be achieved by an open processes of justice schsee also statement of of in this court stated that is a prior matter and that the public interest is one of fundamental importance prior to the admission of jurors in ordinary cases, particularly where a large number of highly important values are potentially in conflict: citing the pragmatic principles underlying the court of decision here, we are urged to hold that the presumption, far from being adequate to support the governments claim of a right to counsel, is insufficient to support a denial of due process of law we see no reason to reach a different result here it is well established that the presumption, whatever its proven falsity, is not a "de minimis cost" and that it imposes no special burdens on the right to counsel and the right to counsel as the court of noted, it is common law that the presumption, if it is that the presumption is necessarily "accomable and that there is no constitutional impediment to a valid fee award therefore, if the plaintiff is the government, he must be found guilty and the judgment is affirmed in & this court recognized that the fundamental to the sixth amendment public trial, a state may require that notice of a defendant form of a lawyer is not a "conceivable" and that the defendant in the community judgment may be retried if counsel is not required to agree on direct examination of counsel the court noted that the rule may be applied in a noncriminal context yet in states the court declared that a lawyer may not be required to reveal the sources of his professional by presenting evidence and answering questions concerning his qualifications thus in states the court stated that if the defendant is not retried, the statement might be useful for purposes of impeachment the court went on to rule that a plaintiff could not be retried if the statements were obeyed, and that the statements were not reported in the court of the court the practice in was summarized in terms of the statement and is the rule: its source is the distinction which we condemned in lawyers were originally granted the right to challenge statements of fact by the highest courts of the states and nc made they subject to the scrutiny of their statements of law attorneys for admission to appear on the record as they normally are, and perhaps, to defend themselves on their lack of personal knowledge of their legal rights or of their state in their use of their professional expertise there is, of course, no way in this case to examine the nature of the statements and the background of the statements of lawyers for law enforcement officers are more hesitant to protect the values of democratic government and trust in a less general sense we hold that in these circumstances the state is not required to justify their public statements, and that the court must consider them in context lawyers for law enforcement officers do not retain their and draw their present rules, and therefore may invoke the courts of correctly construed their statement of ======================================== SAMPLE 75 ======================================== the time for filing his own question, as he would be a matter of public policy, the application of those rules to the appellants has the impermissible effect of denying his right to freedom of speech, press and assembly the court, however, decides these cases as if they were qualified for them to stand on the premise that a provision of the constitution protects liberty of speech and assembly, its language, and its history in short, the court finds a total ban on all public criticism of the facts of this case, and thus creates a threat to the security of the states by fundamentally antagonistic sources see also states ex rel the fact that there may be "irred and malicious" women under that provision, however, does not diminish the national interest in preserving dissident groups nor does the court seriously suggest that it is so limited that there is a constitutional "crucial and constitutionally protected interest" in the publication of information concerning public affairs the court does not carry any implication to the contrary, it would require the court to establish first amendment rights at a less restrictive stage but, as to the thrust of my more recent opinions, this court has never held that the interest of the in regulating access to information received by optometrical offices is sufficient to justify first amendment rights the statesson has not discriminated between different classes of employees it has asserted no legitimate interest in public employment to be the of has promulgated its own rules prohibiting the solicitation of "non-" employees at a minimum, the views of the are modified to read as that may be of controlling importance i would hold that regardless of the extent to which the first amendment protects an office from unfavorable disclosure, a person who is its "supervisory custodial deprived" of the fifth amendment rights cannot be compelled to make the disclosure with the act of signing an affidavit signed by the office of the the same can be said about the statessuch interests in public employees dignity and the protection of privacy are implicated by the different treatment accorded the public-sector employees who are not union members, regardless of whether they are employees or not the critical importance of this case is that the court held that, when faced with a statute outlawing disclosure of the contents of an employees political papers our recent decision in is dispositive, because of the importance of the privacy in this context likewise, we often require disclosure of the contents of an employee pamphlets that are not subject to disclosure under the act moreover, the "practices" enumerated in are designed to protect privacy against arbitrary intrusion by public employees in construing the statutes, we have held that - emphasis added in assessing the compelling interest and the constitutional rights at stake, we must begin with the governments generalized assertion that, in enforcing the compelling interest in protecting the privacy of its employees employees employees, both the governmentally created rights and the first amendments rights that are infringed by the fifth amendment we need only look within our understanding of the court rights of public employees in the present context a slight restriction on the rights of free speech and association is undoubtedly well known when applied to a distinctive category of political parties political parties and their supporters are recognized to be "indiscriminate and therefore are therefore subject to the same constitutional constraints political parties and their supporters, for example, may come within the ambit of the first amendment by virtue of the rights of government employees in a manner the court does not bother to consider these rights, because we have often pointedly recognized that the existence of a constitutional right of association is one element in the guarantees of the first amendment finally, we turn to the requirement that private parties demonstrate the protections of the first amendment appellants first amendment rights the second important constitutional right that we noted in is the right of association for a candidate or ideology to which we owe our constitution appellants first amendment rights, at the very core of first and fourteenth amendment rights, are clearly implicated by the disclosure requirements of public employees relation to the positions they represent the challenge here is based upon an individual right to choose whether to inform the public, in order to support political candidates, or to contribute to the support of other candidates appellees claim that the law imposes an impermissible burden on their right of free speech, in order to make their campaign expenditures different from the expenditure permitted under the first amendment appellants first contention that appellants first amendment challenge is based on their claim that the law infringes their rights of free expression and association secured by the first and fourteenth amendments it is based upon the right of association, which is embodied in our constitution the first and fourteenth amendments protect individuals against a chilling of otherwise protected activity patterson see also appellants claim is grounded upon an alleged right to engage in political speech by appellant the right to choose less than this right is unquestioned in the abstract, by virtue of appellants right to engage in political speech and association the right to choose less than that right is unconst ======================================== SAMPLE 76 ======================================== not only must indicate that these facts will be proved only after proof of unconstitutionality, but also that the constitutionality of the abridged decision of this court should be judged by a proper assessment of the circumstances of this case the procedural shortcomings of the constitutional criteria are so manifest that they will be avoided wherever possible, and when fairness demands of fair procedure and fair procedure are invoked an exception to that rule for cases dealing with a prior restraint of the kind here involved would raise substantial first and sixth amendment problems in a much legal sense when we review these cases for ourselves, we consider them in the same situation the court entered this case on cross examination of the record on cross-motions for summary judgment, and the court of affirmed we think the court of had authority to issue the subpoenas to the three particular plaintiffs, but this conclusion was not renewed by the court of for the fifth this is the constitutional test announced in the case the question presented is whether respondents may under the circumstances of this case invoke the summons of the court to remove respondentsess resolution in the first instance we think that this procedure does not violate the constitution, but that it does not violate the constitution we hold, accordingly, that the judgment of the court of is the question is whether respondents could properly be held in the as a matter of conscience for if it did, a court would be faced with a choice of holding in the exercise of their religion that the constitution sets up, the government must respect that position is to hold while we do not wholly resolve the question whether respondent may constitutionally be excluded from his application to a press report other than it is thus our duty to respect the constitutional guarantee of such an exception to the rule of law by written statement concerning the role of our press in a pluralistic society our decisions recognize that it would be anomolut, if not so, whether would think the rule would not be applied arbitrarily in the constitutional sense ones refusal to recognize that a "essentially personal" exception to a "meaningful" exception to a name discloses hesitancy to the constitutional principle see metaphor; parody, of and and of of this rule, however, does not carry with it the constitutional precision it is designed to avoid, however, because the phrase "under conceived" is an ambiguous statement for if it were possible to mount a meaningful distinction between genuine and incidental effects on free speech and press and invasion of privacy, there would be little basis for rejection of the claim that a later publication, in circumstances not directly relevant to a case involving the at first nor would such an argument be made on behalf of respondentss judgment invalidating the under which it is based nor is there any any way to tell us what is actually a private citizenry in the dissemination of his publications, and not by a pollster of his anonymity this is an idealism that even rigorous application of our free exercise jurisprudence will offend the very constitutional command that we followed in states n but even if thought it proper to require protection for his publication cannot agree that his decision in that case is generally applicable, that the constitution imposes no such special burdens on the right to freedom of speech because we set forth in the opinion below, respondent asks us to decide whether the principle of news reporting applicable to members of the press in a case dealing with the private defamation of a private person, is sufficiently different than the former in the first place, we find no basis for concluding that the private plaintiffs right to a fair trial conferred by b is adequately secured by the requirement of this court observed that cohn has not been followed by history because the rule against publication was not quoting nevertheless, the rule is not challenged in this case although it is true that we cannot be sure that a rule prohibiting the private use of the press is "in some sense different" from the rule here in question is not a matter of private decision, we do not believe the rule is an exception to that rule we thus note that of the exemption of this type is not open to judicial restraint and that but in this case this proposition is not presented in this case we therefore come to the position that the freedom of the press is not an absolute bar to state regulation the judgment of the court of is reversed, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the court today concludes that the private right of the press this case presents a special question whether the first amendment prohibits the application of a state law to a private group who operates an open primary and demonstrated that it does not violate the first amendment the question is whether a provision of the of violates the first amendment * extensively regulates the speech of private casinos by federal law requires

schools were it held that the schools were an unconstitutional and that they were not the schools were a "established sectarian club" and therefore they were better able to exhibit than the schools the schoolchildren at the state expense, the court thought, might have obtained a and were likely to discern whether a different test was applied the court concluded that the schools could not it also determined that the schools involved in each case were the schools were undeniably "established" in the legal sense as well as in the public schools the schools are a school the schools are governed by state rules, for the most part, denominational services must be created the schools challenged in this case are licensed in the companion case of the schools, a private club, is located in the adjacent public schools in a community ofpeople located in the adjacent public are invited to the school, and members of the local parish are given a chance to picket in order to reach the pupils the schools are governed by state rules, but their schools are not isolated from these characteristics in light of this configuration of private fora to permit a club or club to be club based on the legal content of the private message on its property may be reasonable this is not the usual type of case for a private party to do the same, or a fact of private accommodation, and is the same today the schools are governed by state rules, generally applicable to all similar activities b, and a- provide for a club or club for the club in this case, the private club in each school was willing to be club members the club was willing to allow the club to continue in its membership to give the club the club the club licenses the clubs were originally permitted to be licensed in the city of the clubs were originally granted the same rights as the clubs at issue in and the other private clubs that had been ordered opened for private accommodation andbarred the clubs picketing in and and was therefore a private club within the meaning of and the schools were originally granted a third injunction of the constitutionality of the order requiring the to hold a club meeting and conferring with the clubs the court found the action to be founded on the states contract, and awarded a permanent injunction against enforcement of the club rule the schools were notified and notified by private counsel that they were being members of the club only two of the private clubs named were participated in the school on lodge premises, the schools were governed by state regulations and policy the court of for the ninth affirmed the enforcement of the order merely because it failed to apply its supervisory personnel to the clubs or policies of the clubs the court of agreed with the court of that appellees presented a case that did not involve the activity of the clubs at that controversy the clubs activities did not have a primary purpose, the school was attempting to be bound by state regulation of the clubs that were found to be appellees responded that their activities, including the discriminatory enforcement of and of were deemed unlawful under the principles of the court of held that the school did not constitute prohibited because it chose its members to express their views on any specific nonfcurriculum related controversy the court of for the fifth observed that law the schools activities did not present the kind of club at issue were found to the schools activities did not present the different school activities in the clubs involved in the clubs activities were not constitutionally different from the activities in the present case the schools activities in were not they associated with the clubs in the case of the schools, the court of for the fifth held that the schools activities could not constitutionally be applied to the clubs the schools activities in this case were therefore similar to the activities in which this court is asked to review, although the schools activities did not violate the clause we granted certiorari to resolve a conflict among the courts of concerning the constitutionality of the school regulations prohibiting appellants from requiring the to provide exclusive representation of women or of their legal rights * of the court of held that the statute, as construed by the court, violated the fourteenth amendment to the states constitution we have made clear that a primary purpose to be understood as the states use the laws challenged here present differing constitutional challenges to the law of compulsory school representation of public school teachers they do not permit the clubs to be defined as schools or other educational institutions, such as the or the the legal relations they present in this case the court of held that the act violates the clause of the fourteenth amendment we do not disturb the courts broad investigatory power but we have also held that states we also have recognized the complexity of the legal relationship between the clubs and the clubs the law before us does not authorize the schools to require all clubs or individuals to hold ======================================== SAMPLE 78 ======================================== part of the informing function is the same must be accorded the state and its -supervised lawyer the court suggests that he is not required to state his belief in the law many members of the court have stated, in the right of association, that this may not be done by a lawyer; that is, cases such as the one here, and however, are different from the present proceeding of the sort the named plaintiff was before the court we need not decide now whether the matter is properly held: for the reasons set forth above, we hold that these state attorneys, and the attorneys who represent clients, may not, in effect, reasonably be required to provide by the constitution a reasonable and reliable determination of their loyalty by the attorney, without fear of the attorney, and succeeded in infiltrating itself to represent them and by themselves or by third persons the court rejects this view of the state d, at —, by stating that the record before us does not support a contrary conclusion it seems to us that the court in finding this aspect of the statutethe highest court proceeding brought the context of the proceedings there was similar the court held that there is no "litmus-paper test" for deciding a case like this here, and therefore resolved its own examination in its entirety under the procedures reviewed in this case, the court appears to have selected an attorney about a matter of law that included the highest courts and members of the court however, the courts view, the outcome is a close one, so, too broad, and thus will not be resolved in this case as a private individual, and therefore a private individual cannot be considered a public figure under the facts of this case of course, the courts cannot be foreclosed by this case without even attempting to extend that doctrine to public figures as well as public figures but whatever may be said about this case, however, it is pure speech and an advertisement the court obviously could not have promulgated the - standards, recognizing that the statement was false and indeed misleading with respect to its legal services and, as we have made clear in order to be that legal services are a public function, and that constitutional protection is not afforded to professional services such a statement is clearly consistent with the rule that the validity of a state law is not clear from its face, and is not presented by the case we also cannot be said that the states may not prohibit lawyer advertising that it depicts nir als appellant also claims that it may prohibit the use of in order to "public concern" and may therefore be pre-empted in the absence of complaints by appellants in

appellees activity finally, the court of held that of aguilar applies a standard of review to evaluate the constitutionality of legislative enactments in the court held that could not, consistently with the first and fourteenth amendments, make applicable the applicable retroactive application of this same although the court applied its former decision to invalidate the legislative determination appellants claims as well as the authority of the of are not challenged on this record first, although appellant has alleged that the was not motivated by an improper purpose to disadvantage enforcement of the statute, appellees instead challenge the statute as applied, and the court of held that the act is not an impermissible application of the appellees first amendment rights as this court has repeatedly held, when a statute impinges on first amendment rights, such a statute, we have, of course, applied the statute even to a constitutionally protected activity see states for & second, when the alleged injury is a direct injury to the plaintiffs own speech thus, the alleged injury is not the abstract mcculloch, as this court has held, the plaintiffs allege standing as well as an impermissible delegation of legislative authority to make a ruling, which is to be circumscribed by the statutory language in the court considered whether plaintiffs could properly be held in contempt and whether the alleged actual injury to the plaintiffs constitutes alleged or proved sufficient to make standing and the requisite intent to be threatened this court reversed the judgment of the court as inthen under law the plaintiff seeking to have the court held will not prevail on this federal issue, and shall not be forced to his direction of federal court and thereby be left for another round of federal-court adjudication is our only discussion of the standing or interests which might appear in the federal forum is necessary to understand fully the decisions of this court as determining whether plaintiffs complaint has alleged a likelihood of success on the merits in this case, however, there is no suggestion that the alleged first amendment rights are necessarily incidental, or that it necessarily is necessarily related to the cases before us for this reason, we must decide whether appellants first amendment rights have a sufficiently close nexus with the state prosecution and whether they, by the state prosecution, violatedrights assured to them by the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution if, as this case presents a difficult constitutional question in this case, we may consider only the latter question, but we have compelled a full development of the relevant facts we are thus unable to hold that appellants right to be heard on their merits and that the state prosecution survives a judgment lannot stand the appellees right to be protected, their fifth and fourteenth amendment rights must be considered in light of the substantial rights which their rights of speech and press protects the appellees here are clearly those in whom was given a position of apparently no interest to be represented by counsel or lawyers and in the conduct of the prosecution, and this desire is hardly a prospect they were not prosecuted for the act as if they were prosecuted for it could not, under its terms, be prosecuted under the statute indeed, the argument that prosecution was being brought in the same court was rejected by the court in our judgment which was again rejected by the highest court the very same is true here in the first place, under the constitution of the states is said: appellants also assert that the right to be free of the laws is abridged by the first and fourteenth amendments however, appellants allege that the act and of the act, both in their totality and as applied, infringes their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments in that they are infringed, because they under the fourteenth amendments constitute a deprivation of life or liberty protected by the constitution and therefore cannot be said to be protected by the fourteenth amendment without a showing of need or a prior judicial determination as to the nature of the claimed deprivation, or even the constitutional rights of appellees, the appellants, on this record, as conceded by the court, to be constitutionally presented of primary importance, this is not to say that appellees here are not constitutionally immunized from any enforcement by the state, as for the two-tier system of review that must be deemed invalid these cases cannot be distinguished out of existence or even important, as the appellants contend, because they do not involve alleged infringements of the right to be counsel, or that for the public at large, to be secure in the courts of law, and that appellees here are constitutionally disqualified from handling their appeals to the federal courts on this record we say that appellants here are totally without direction of the assistance ======================================== SAMPLE 80 ======================================== investigation he is violating a warrant because he did not personally believe in good conscience but our analysis does not turn on the nature of the alleged invasion of privacy; it is the very essence of criminal process; it demands, and it is the degree of criminal process, resulting from the latent protectionism of federal officers, and from the fact that the intrusion on personal liberty is carefully limited and imposed by judicial examination first amendment rights may no more be abridged when the intrusion on such fourth amendment rights may not be minimal and there are some circumstances which should warrant scrutiny under the fourth amendment in the public interest a third amendment right should not be abridged is the right to counsel finally, we note that in this case the court, on balance, struck the balance and the constitutional balance in favor of the attorney to the parties and its recognition of our first amendment rights since the issues here are close, we must return to the court on the record as found by the court of as to the merits of the case there is no evidence that appellant was arrested for any description of the grand jury the conviction is not based on any charge made as might be found, one of four persons were arrested for walking a story about the validity of the summons, as the prosecutor made his arrest of the premises as a result of the arrest of the manager when there was probable cause to believe the evidence was unlawful, no one may be prosecuted for what he was charged for all the reasons set out in the margin the court below ordered a hearing in which the charges were true and which the prosecutor admitted were true there was no basis for the charge filed on the merits or for any other reason alleged that the discharges had been ordered solely because they did not fall within the requirements of the fourteenth amendment the judgment below is reversed and the case is remanded to the court of for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion the and the are lawful men, serving a deputy sheriff of the city, charging a crowd of about people, and charging a breach of the peace and specifically charging a person with a violation of a traffic ticket because of the potential for an unruly conduct and the nature of the traffic in the streets and sidewalks in this case, this case is different than one in which the appellant was arrested because he was a member of the the question here is whether appellant can be convicted for the violation of an ordinance which permits the dissemination of religious matter appellant is the principal manager of the city and he is the principal officer of the shopping center in the city of the is charged with the administration of the traffic laws he ordered the removal of the traffic ticket, which was set at the license; appellants ordered a that the charge be sustained on the basis of the ordinance and the charge be the prosecution stems not from the licensees interpretation of the ordinance but from the claim under consideration by the contemporary accepted meaning of the ordinance i am unpersuaded by the doctrine of abstention raised in this case by the court of the appellants claims on this record that the appellants could be prosecuted only if their convictions were denied or if the ordinance was unconstitutionally applied appellantin the amended his enforcement of the ordinance to provide that the individuals making the attack on the ordinance were — and makes no showing that the ordinance is vague with respect to the nonobscene and other terms of the ordinance appellant also contends that the ordinances as applied are impermissibly vague in this appeal, the appellants attack the ordinance on its face on the ground that it is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite under the first and fourteenth amendments and because it is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite under the first amendment appellants claim is based upon a claim which may be made by the state police that the right to apply for a permit in the manner of soliciting subscriptions and a hearing on those premises such a claim cannot fairly be said by the state courts to be facially invalid the court, however, exercises discretion upon appellants claim is now before this court, and has appeared on two prior occasions in of we said: on this occasion we recognized in judging the validity of the ordinance, and we said: if we did we, we would face to the first amendment problems posed by the ordinance, and at the same time we are confronted with the difficult and sensitive questions of constitutionality, the principle of abstention under the first and fourteenth amendments was urged in appellants was reaffirmed by a unanimous court in of the which held that the ordinance violated the first and fourteenth amendments on the merits, the ordinance is challenged as vague and indefinite and therefore void under the fourteenth amendments the question for decision is whether the provisions of the ordinance, in the unconstitutionality of the ordinance, could constitutionally be applied to appellants activity on the premises to sell merchandise on the premises that question is answered in the negative by our recent decision in there the court confronted the question whether limiting free ======================================== SAMPLE 81 ======================================== but expensive and higher quality the services of the rest of the local police force by the trial judge, there is evidence that was in fact being tried in the courts or hearings were conducted in the same legal sense expected to be of the case, as he stands by a televised court and by an equally divided court in the atmosphere of question the controversy which was litigated in the court and which is especially involved in this case was a rejurisdiction which we are here dealing with the court in this case declined to issue the injunction on the grounds that the injunction was improper because it involved constitutionally protected activity the court was careful to note that the court of expressed doubt that the court of was not required by the constitution to hold that injunctive relief under the constitution might be granted to a defendant, on the grounds that his constitutional attack is sufficiently substantial and which would amount to irreparable injury and which would otherwise be raised if a substantial case of the kind at hand were brought to the court the authority of court is invoked to impose by the nonconstitutional provision of the injunction that became part of the entry into this case under co the opportunity for a prompt post-vermit application in this case, where no kind of scrutiny is been deemed appropriate restrictions upon review are necessary in order to preserve our our constitutional tradition of judicial procedure by the application of constitutional doctrines thus, if injunctive relief is unavailable, this court could issue a declaratory judgment directed to the court of it could, however, properly be required to demonstrate that issuance of a declaratory judgment under seeking to provide a mechanism for expeditious review of the decision would, of course, be the route for this court to review the decision in the light of the principles enunciated by the court of and which follow the doctrine moreover, we are not concerned that injunctive shall constitute a sufficiently clear and present danger to the administration of state tax systems the decisive differences between the two procedures are that the procedures by which an injunction is justified and that a state must meet the criteria for injunctive relief as well as declaratory relief they are, of course, a nonjurisdictional doctrine, see since there may be no declaratory relief in this case under but that is not the issue which the court had before us, and there is no indication that we have jurisdiction under moore the primary jurisdictional question is whether the act is a cause of action and that the constitution permits a district court to issue injunctive relief in a single case if, and only if, each appellees attack those sections on their face and under the present and properly expressed, the court should infer that the latter are the appellees in this case there is no question but that the and are not appellees here the appellees are members of the religious order known as the at the very appellees sought a declaratory judgment as the single sitting in their challenge, the appellees alleged that they wished to disseminate a declaratory judgment concerning abstention because of the lack of abstention because of the provision for an injunction from granting a declaratory judgment as to the limitations on the act on the first and fourteenth amendments the court of rejected appellants constitutional attacks on the act itself and dismissed the enforcement of the act on its face and as applied, as applied, the court held that it did the court, however, denied appellants claims under the first and fourteenth amendments the court dismissed the appeal, and postponed the hearing on the merits meanwhile, however, appellants had alleged the invalidity of the act on the merits their claim as to the jurisdiction of the court was therefore to be heard on this motion and upon an opportunity to be heard on the merits in our view, the court of reasoned that in our view, appellants claims as to the limitations on the act are without merit first, we think appellants claims as to the limitations on our jurisdiction of this appeal are without merit appellees claim that the first and fourteenth amendments and the clause of the first amendment require a declaration of freedom of the press applicable to all cases in this court that there is no danger of state prosecution for appellants under as a condition of their constitutional rights, this claim is best left to the trial court to determine whether appellants may constitutionally be required to reveal to the court an alleged invasion of first and fourteenth amendments rights apart from their claim, this claim has no substance there is no suggestion that the claim will have been made in a calm atmosphere which will be denied or that the defendant may be constitutionally punished for his speech, press, or assembly the present case is plainly not close to being reapplied in this setting there can be no doubt that the first and fourteenth amendments foreclose defendants trying to reconcile appellees contention to a declaration of the right to a fair trial and the nature of the rights alleged in ======================================== SAMPLE 82 ======================================== contention to its own judgment there is no justification for our retaining jurisdiction, however, for denying declaratory and injunctive relief for want of declaratory relief will not be granted on this record the organization filed suit in the court should not have the court of invoked its jurisdiction on the basis of a clear record and therefore not entitled to declaratory relief in this case i agree with the concurring opinion of my that the judgment below may be granted on appeal to the but, as the court recognizes, this case is not appealable on the basis of the fact that this court ruled on the authority of a private declaratory judgment as not by certified questions of law the court, on review from this court, enjoined the from enforcing the provisions of the and the first amendment appellees attack on the constitutionality of the and the and the are -educated to defend their suit for declaration of their right to a public forum appellees alleged that the and the first and fourteenth amendments guarantee their right to a public trial and an injunction against the segregation of the courtroom by the inclusion of the courtroom the court also found that the and the were not denied access to this court for purposes of considering appellants claims appellees requested a preliminary injunction and affidavits setting forth their claim under of the and act of title to the clause of the states constitution an injunction prayed for preliminary injunctive relief as well as damages a three-judge court was convened and held that abstention was inappropriate because it denied appellants request for a preliminary injunction the court of reversed, holding that abstention was inappropriate because the case was not a "fped one, the court of held that the first and fourteenth amendments protect judges from potential pressures of litigation in court the court held, however, that both and are of the public nature of the case after lengthy proceedings as to damages, the court of ruled in favor of appellants on the merits and dismissing the action the court of further ordered a rehearing on rehearing en banc holding that with the consent of the majority of the court, summarily modified this courts prior decisions, and also reversed a remand with the permission of considering whether the case is properly here under we noted probable jurisdiction and we affirm the court in this case correctly observed that this court has had jurisdiction to review a final judgment of substance and participation by the court of based on principles of statutory construction of a statute in the court did not question that the had waived its first amendment rights because it failed to allege that it had failed to meet its burden of obtaining a waiver of the courts rather, in we held that the lacks authority to issue rules and regulations governing the practice of optometryometry by its present form, to regulate competing licensed practices, to be licensed by the these principles need not be discussed previously in the courts below the court, in applying stricter first amendment standards, has developed over the past few years to administer the law in constitutional conformance with the constitution of naacp citations omitted pron accordingly, we hold that the act is unconstitutional on its face accordingly, the judgment of the court of is vacated and the case is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion the court enigmatic, decides these cases on the basis of testimony by the court, but instead relies wholly on the express findings of the court, which have addressed the first amendment issues implicated by the decision * the act a of the guidelines of the is deemed a violation of the first and fourteenth amendments to the states constitution appellees claims were made in the court pursuant to alleging the first and fourteenth amendments claims of the members of the court of were addressed in an unpublished memorandum of the states on both of the grounds of disqualification for membership in the appellees did not address this issue, but requested only prospective relief to resolve the conflict in the courts appellees stated that they did not deprive their alleged associations and their members of any jurisdiction or jurisdiction of this court pursuant to it therefore considered an evidentiary challenge to the record forwithout a proper inquiry of law the court dismissed appellants final judgment and the case set for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion it held that, although a and the act a, are not, pursuant to that system article provides that all participants in the litigation agree that they are not appellees to the court however, appellees assert that they are without the other jurisdictional challenges to the right of appellants to be heard at this court pursuant to we do not think this case is controlled by the act because there is no first amendment interest in appellees sufficiently substantial an interest to qualify for membership in the we accordingly conclude that the first and fourteenth amendments protect every citizen of the states from having a article affords government the right to participate in an official or a candidates nomination processes, and the appellant conceded at oral argument that he is a citizen of the states and therefore ======================================== SAMPLE 83

merely "coerced" to the majoritarian discourse at the hearing; he has no feeling against the government that he is serving as the president of the while this case involves a facial challenge to the policy, it is possible that the speech might be limited by anything less than censorship or incitement to action, such as penal or criminal prosecution, see of states since, under the clause of other possible situations, is less objectionable than the message delivered see states of states ex rel moreover, the principle that governmental officials may not make the expression of the government of the press is also applicable to policymaking see state of a of we have said that such power is within the sphere of activity and is subject to and which permit such regulation to avoid reaching the ears of others to the workings of government it is therefore an essential requirement that this case not be considered in the context of regulations designed to censor particular subjects or to protect the people from the most constructive and communicative activities that might be used in the marketplace of ideas thus, if and & is to operate its compulsory process of selective enforcement, then those prior decisions in this area of the law in this area may be challenged on equal footing based on the content of speech, even if that conduct is not within the protection of the first amendment see at nor do we depend on the total lack of particularized factual circumstances to justify it is necessary to show that the governmental interests advanced by the state do not necessarily parallel the purely private interests the first amendment was designed to avoid see generally of quoting and the first amendment requires, and all other possible free expression is protected from arbitrary governmental interference by the state nor does this case raise any question of the constitutionality of a school-aid policy that is not necessarily "ideological" or "political club " is not being uncomfortable, we cannot agree with the court that the difference between a secondary school and a similar kind of secondary school advertising is not merely a matter of degree, but one of characteristics unique to the issue of school endorsement the undisputed facts in this case are not only not of a commercial and nonideological character and do not warrant a finding that the policy of exclusive representation of teachers in elementary and secondary schools is not there is no question of that kind atn atn it is true that a school district adjacent to the district does not wish to open its facilities to any definable category of protected speech , at noting the lack of a public education program does not bar a school from unconstitutionally discriminating on the basis of sex, see atis no less true here than there is no issue, however, for a different constitutional principle would be hard put to us to make a similar distinction in first amendment cases it is not that has a first amendment right to work or to refuse to ride or otherwise to conduct lawless action, though atn and is not that there is no basis for a different constitutional rule here the constitution protects rights of association and expression in a fundamental sense by making special provision for example, which is not, of course, the substantive law it is that the constitution protects interests in teaching and maintaining public schools and in avoiding fostering a social problem the government is neither desirable nor desirable without question the legitimacy of the governmental interest asserted by appellants is clear and certain to me, it is clear that the policy of the educational staff supports this constitutional claim the primary function of the school district is to provide educational and other services that may be thought important and how much to provide them there can be no question about the legitimacy of the schools well enough to justify the resulting discrimination in educational and other areas of the educational process in fact, the schools here, like all other institutions, may provide educational and other services the policy of the district inevitably demands of educational personnel to present to children in particular religious faiths, and to handicap students in other religious centers, to be so directly affected with the opportunity for propagandizing the beliefs of their community the fact that the policy may properly be viewed as recognizing a constitutional violation does not, in my view, mean that there must be racial discrimination in violation of the clause the constitution itself does not tolerate strict scrutiny of state action nor do mean to make the state its "effects" prongruisclessness is a danger of or a serious threat to the schools availability of a low-effects educational program in short think the court of denigrated the justifications of the policy at the previous interviews and, more particularly, ignores the constitutional significance of the issue and our own decision in this case the court there did not question this and granted certiorari in the ======================================== SAMPLE 84 ======================================== example the " " of "" to "" appears in the files of the the " " was not a charge of worship and worship it was originally included a rating, to be conducted in the office of the organization, and to be open to the public at large luipa is an issue of special interest to society there is no reason to doubt that the has a policy of non-professional, religious organizations that would be present in the prison as well as at and nd and appellees have failed to demonstrate a special reason for their lack of reasonable justification in the clause for a special restriction on religious expression the court of determined that the application of the clause to public figures at the question presented is whether this rule violates the clause of the states constitution we hold that it does not * the time constraints of the clause of the first amendment reflect the vision of an architect of our law, embodied in the fourteenth amendment, to preserve the "exspection and robust" debate and to preserve values and traditions for public tolerance and debate appellees urge us to resolve the question by applying strict scrutiny in applying these rules to the claim of religious organizations to employees in the private sector of the parochial schools of the schools of the private schools of the private schools of and their schools we are asked to decide whether the clause precludes the use of public funds for religious activity or the teachers of private schools to teach and practice religion rather, the court has focused on the activities of the parochial schools involved in the program hunt requires no ongoing cooperation or accommodation in the sectarian schools of the schools hunt requires no ongoing relationship whatsoever, and no ongoing relationship exists as we explained inatfor example, the parochial schools of involved in the program are sectarian by the church here, the religious schools are church related, and in the schools they represent the same sectarian schools non- schools, and their students, receive the religious schools are necessarily numerous different religious schools this is a due process case because the government aid is directly related to the schools function under the clause, the government must neither advance nor finance religious instruction in the sectarian schools or the religious schools to be sure, the courts in this case rested on a different view of the amount of the aid and the religious schools had ongoing church-related schools furthermore, the court in expressly declared that the government aid to parochial schools of is so similar that the assistance that the court characterized would be provided had the impermissible effect of advancing religion, and the government was likely to overcome a similar argument the court in also determined that the program violated the clause there is no claim that the effect of the government aid to religion was impermissible, since the religious schools are affiliated with religious schools to be sure, the courts in also were unable to perceive the susceptibility of religious indoctrination to indoctrinate students inwe found no evidence of indoctrination on the part of secular schools of the schools we found no evidence of indoctrinating in the record, and our analysis of both and is therefore properly guided by two well-established, dual principles first, we found that the religious schools presented no evidence of indoctrination second, we invalidated the program on its face because the religious schools did we found no evidence of indoctrinating in the record that religious schools attempted to inculcate religion third, we found no evidence of indoctrinating in the record, which we had never held the schools reliance on the indeed, our decision in held that the clause does not bar the government from secular educational assistance to the religious schools of a particular religion like the assistance program created by the program, a religious school— fulfilling religion and blind in the religious schools—was found not to violate the clause the safeguards employed by the program are limited and well-established, so long as the religious schools were under the assistance program but we also think that the safeguards employed by the program must be followed if the government is solely neutral as to content or religious content indeed, our cases recognize that government aid to religion is subject to and these cases, as well as our previous cases dealing with government aid to religious schools see for and in to the clause emphasis added indeed, our cases dealing with aid to parochial schools to religious schools for example, we have said that parochial schools, not direct financial assistance to the secular schools, constitute a violation of the clause see our decisions dealing with aid to religious schools were not concerned with the required relationship between government and religious institutions to be sure, the court did not apply the same principle to the facts of the programs challenged in our cases, there was no indication of indoctrinating in secular or religious schools we described the requisite schools, and in particular the program in the religious schools context the latter, and, more importantly, our history suggests that the instructors in these schools are also adherents of the religious schools the court in and the cases that we call the "aid" ======================================== SAMPLE 85 ======================================== vague; wisdom or efficacy, a departure from doctrine, or intention to ride a constitutional decision on such an issue; or the statutes as presently challenged will not be enforced, but will be enforced discriminatorily enforced against those with a it will be redressed under the first amendment this, however, is not the case here the statute, as construed by the court, punishes knowing possession of obscene matter appellant claims, in his estimate of what the ordinance actually regulates, and hence permits a scienter requirement, to be constitutionally convicted on the basis of the evidence the enactment is not vague we do not understand his claim that the amendment is unconstitutionally vague he makes no claim that he was convicted under the statute as construed and applied bouph unless the statute is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite as interpreted by the court of the court the standards applied are sufficiently precise and should be applied to the of appellant for his alleged omission of the ordinance in his applications we are not dealing here with the meaning of the ordinance, and we are not dealing with a license application or a claim which is, of course, void on its face the court was not concerned with any constitutional issues which might conceivably might be extracted from the ordinance by the court rather, it is a matter of substantive due process protection which may be determined by the standards applied to the ordinance alone fear of decided constitutional issues, we are unable to accept the state courts notice of the ordinance is vague or indefinite bison is not made impermissibly vague in its vagueness and overbreadth the ordinance of is clearly drawn to punish only obscene matter it is alleged that the and are intended to be, and that such vagueness are being used to make this ordinance unnecessary we think the present ordinance is too vague in its applications to constitutionally protected conduct, and that the ordinance is therefore invalid even when the ordinance is said to be unconstitutionally vague or indefinite, we think appellants well prevailing warning as they ever are at page at page chief stated in his opinion for the court of the in states he said that this ordinance was not unconstitutionally vague, in that it made the susceptible of plain meaning: we accept this as a limited construction and that therefore insists that abstention is not limited to those cases which are attributable to the state court system the doctrine, having its roots in prior decisions, is to the same effect that we think it deserves concern co of state of of of state of of state of of state of of state of state of state of of state of at page at pageand we think appellants were entitled to notice of the limitations upon their freedoms of speech, press and religion in the public schools and the facilities immediately after the was ordered to cease doing a particular union activity, not open to them although we do not of the opinion paused at great length to say that the decision as to how to apply applies to a proposed ordinance the holding in is thus broad: appellants pointed out that prior decisions dealing with obscenity and obscene literature have been made even more clear by the court that they are limited to meaning inthe case of the thirty-fscene, lewd and lascivious books and a movie then filed with the court as of the books, a member of the of of the of the of solicited the of by a letter from the of his friends, and by a vote ofto the of the telephone companya member of thethe for the of the complaint prayed for an injunction on the contempt motion to quash the order, and stated that a prior decision of this court was made against the respondents, and the court dismissed the complaint the complaint prayed for a preliminary injunction and suggested that the court adopt what is now and part of the case as the basis for our decision, which is set out below, and also denied the motion to vacate the contempt judgment and sentence in its entirety the plaintiffs, who are the of and the of the states and the of the states, sought a declaratory judgment that the sections of the act were unconstitutional on their face and as applied, and an injunction prohibiting the expenditure of amounts expended for the purpose of advocating and advocating the court ofd applying this newly minted andother statutory provisions which are the court set forth, we think appellants arguments appear to be without merit in all probability, we think appellants arguments are without merit at this time we say there is no merit to appellants arguments, for we recognize that appellees presented no case in this court for its consideration, and we therefore conclude that the fourth and fourteenth amendments provide no shelter for a municipal library in the circumstances of this case we think it quite proper to suggest that a decision on the constitutionality of a federal statute depriving a federally federally guaranteed right could be had on the constitution in some respects as the statute here in question; a constitutional defect, appellants submitted, in the alternative, ======================================== SAMPLE 86 ======================================== free to receive the ideas of all, or the world movement, the sensibilities of persons who drafted and sponsored the constitution thought they were incorporating were those of the sort quintessentially subject to the law indeed, all of this court has declared the protection of the first amendment by placing limitations on public speech over similar public forums as for the restriction on public speech, the court has recognized that public figures are subject to the same limitations on access to a public forum for example, in for we upheld a restriction of a citys of political expenditures from a segregated fund to oppose political activity because they might have that effect; id , at noting that government employees were a subject to the act of they declined to id , at noting that our other cases involved situations of voters in we described what is obvious: " rights of expressive association do not depend upon the extent to which the association places limitations on partisan speech activity nonparticipation in a public forum is not limited to expressive activity because and will be tolerated in a myriad of ways since those activities they represent, and the nature of their message may give rise to the special protection of the first amendment atfor example, a state may legitimately permit a band to be used to enforce a state licensing requirement on the ground that it intended to allow activities of a commercial organization which does not have the name of its billing envelope but we noted that the first amendment prohibits the from permitting the billing envelopes to be used to fund activities of a commercial organization that is otherwise protected by the first amendment atandwe recognized that to ensure the publics right to speak would not infringe the speakers first amendment rights because the is a central part of the first amendment, we have held that is not narrowly drawn to serve a compelling governmental interest and that it is narrowly drawn to serve that interest we have observed that restrictions on first amendment speech are subject to stricter scrutiny than regulations we have upheld in recent years as the court stated in states here the majority is primarily concerned that a regulation prohibiting the solicitation of money by a candidate from solicitors is subject to the same limitations more important, though, the regulations deal with the classic form of speech regulations that are no more intimately or necessarily less exacted scrutiny under the first amendment, see concurring in judgment as the regulations are governed by the general rule under this courts first amendment analysis, the principle does not depend upon the setting in which this case arose the principal judgment in this case is that, under the most expansive tests of review, a contribution regulation is constitutionally valid so long as it is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest because this special care requirement is clearly satisfied in the regulations, we are certain guidance to apply the regulation in this case we have never declared that contribution limitations of the act are constitutionally infirm because the act survives "thousands of valid and valid" government regulations, see we must adhere to the approach that we follow in this opinion under this standard, contribution regulations are subject to the most exacting scrutiny we must recognize that contribution regulations are subject to scrutiny under the first amendment see a that is, of course, a contribution limit, and a $, restriction on gifts to a general fund to be used for invidious purposes see b which is in no way contribution limits we thus hold that is not sufficiently tailored to fully accomplish the governments interest in preventing actual corruption is a compelling state interest we are not persuaded first, as in this case, the law contribution limits do not serve a compelling governmental interest and can be said to serve that interest the judgment of the court should be affirmed in this case the law at issue here regulates the conduct of state of a private corporation, a substantial part of a number of permanent financial contributions which include payments of loans to a federal highway-south business south-service contracts generally limit federal funds directly to sales to state officials the first amendment prohibits the issuance of such contracts by federal law-abiding speakers on bases of political beliefs naacp citations omitted, for example, we held that the first amendment prohibits the issuance of corporate campaign agreements by corporations to report the financial views of tax-exempt corporations, not by employees naacp citations omitted mcdonald also reaffirmed this conclusion by noting that this second amendment prohibits the application of our recent commercial speech doctrine in the context of political speech by a segregated corporation, although in we said that our case would not apply to the present case the speech at issue is speech by a corporation, usually in the exercise of its spending powers and strictly the same broad power to tax and spend its most revenue in promoting the election of candidates for federal office we upheld the analogous first amendment challenge to a federal statute that required professional fundraisers to disclose the participants of a nonprofit corporation, not by placed in the same forum in which they were permitted to solicit solicitors if the individual had to pay the bills that required professional fundraisers to file a statement concerning the amounts of a fundraising fee we held that ======================================== SAMPLE 87

prohibited from making such funds available to federal officials they are authorized by the constitution to administer by the constitution to administer and enforce the statutes to prevent voter confusion, blight, or to prevent transparent and widespread evasion of the federal law and, if possible, to have established and continuous elections to prevent any abuses and mistakes the fact that the has provided in b of the statute is, however, a decisive factor to be weighed in deciding a facial challenge to a state election law the constitution requires the state chairman to make such a determination in order to ensure that a candidate or his supporters for office in the party bring with him in its individual capacity of office and without the party in the individual election the provision, as the stated by the court ofis highly discriminatory: it impinges upon theright to associate or with his candidate or the party in its individual capacity, or if it were essentially true that the candidate or the individual would have a right to associate or with his party as well as the right to express ones opinion in the party primary the court therefore concluded that the law is alleged to constitute voter confusion and thus cannot be sustained we therefore granted certiorari the court of determined by this court that the challenge to the act had been raised in the complaint but nevertheless granted the requested relief the court of reversed, holding that the act did not authorize the declaratory judgment of the court and noted that the act prohibited the from exercising jurisdiction over that appeal even though the dispute raised no such challenge we agree with that the act prohibits the issuance of a declaratory judgment as to the validity of the act appellant has alleged jurisdictional or constitutional claims based on the constitutional provisions of a are a corporation self-state incorporation statute that is a corporation by virtue of law maintains a legally cognizable constitutional challenge to the constitutionality of the act appellant also alleges a constitutional challenge to the act on constitutional grounds, arguing that if we pass no appropriate declaratory judgment action or whether the same court should have declaratory judgment action before the instant case is barred by the act, we lack jurisdiction because the act lacks the capacity to remain in force, see virginia and lack standing to challenge the application of the act to individuals of ordinary standing and that the court of reasoned that it should have abstained, see we therefore reverse the judgment of the court of and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion appellant is a corporation owning the exclusive right to purchase and

to be prohibited is subject to no less general rule, it does require more than a nominal, equally protected speech—which the speaker might commit the courts failure to distinguish on the ground that it is unsupported by the record is dispositive of the entire case the speakers standing to be informed on matters of public concern must be able to see no reason why their activity is not protected under the first amendment we have allowed general exceptions to narrow rules, however, when dealing with first amendment rights for example, we held that the first amendment did not make the general rules applicable to the states through the fourteenth amendment moreover, under the fourteenth amendment we held that a state could not the first amendment foreclosed a state from regulating persons seeking to solicit funds from a state-created forum in order to solicit citizens for their activities likewise, a restriction on the collection of money to a speaker or organization is not a permissible time, place, and manner restriction in both and we held that the first amendment forbade the states to impose strict requirements of time, place, and manner restrictions, on the content of speech as we held in of the court has repeatedly acknowledged a similar interest in the free speech rights of solicitors the fact that the picketing is orderly and orderly is one of the few occasions when a picket is accompanied by other persons from a residence of a residential neighborhood is not a justification for even if this residential picketing does not infringe the first amendment similarly, in the instant case we held that the imposition of criminal sanctions under the first amendment was not invalid on its face because it was not the sole determinant and there was no indication that any activity of the nature that the state was compelled to were not "authorized" by the owner or his employees nor is this kind of "vice" that the state itself would be free to prevent by a particular section or by law enforcement or other federal policies the second justification for this is that the court, in declaring that the appellees here, are not public officials to enforce truthful, non-coercive anti-coercive anti-union law and practice et seq the fourth suggests, and we agree, that the fourth amendment in its entirety prohibited enforcement of the state from permitting picketing in the public schools, even though the latter may not have known the state itself we recognize that there are also public interests, not interests, of the state, and that, in the interest of interpreting the fourteenth amendment, to ensure the quality of life in both public and private schools, is by definition not sufficiently urgent to justify the substantial abridgment of those interests and of course a strict test of the constitutionality of state school rules permitting picketing cannot be met here under the clause see generally of of state of states of there being no question of the constitutionality of state state laws that provided might be answered directly to the court, we need not reach the first amendment questions posed by the parties appellees do not contend, and we do not, that school rules prohibiting the picketing are invalid on their face because they object to the content of speech to be filed in school with school officials, or rather merely by school officials, is a function of public education and is, of course, a function of the state the school officials do not claim that they have no interest in the practice of their schools but their claim is that they are not public officials because they are their selective enforcement personnel who, in their discretion, is in fact threatened with the discriminatory enforcement of the school principal whose activities they seek to picket or to deliver picket lines and for picketing to which some individuals object such selective enforcement of the injunction results in the dismissal of respondentss order enjoining enforcement of the no-distribution restrictions on the content of the picketing the court of held that this enforcement of the no-distribution restrictions was properly considered, and consequently held that the enforcement of the no-distribution restrictions were invalid as applied to the activities of the defendants we express no opinion on the merits of the courts judgment, nor do we agree with the court of or the court that the lower courts correctly determined this case is controlled by our recent decision in there the court recognized that the activities of the schools involved in this case are subject to a more limited and more limited freedom of the press than do the public schools furthermore, the courts might properly have condemned such laws and regulations as to authorize the imposition of sanctions against their teachers to make speeches, to provide facilities, or to incite members of the public to or to incite members of the school principal to or the schools the court recognized that the schools activities were "non-collective-curriculum-related ante, at d, at d, atbut that a school that obstructed its schools by

office, and that he holds his tongue for another day and for a number of reasons he is invited to represent its students, and is less likely to be shocked by respondentss theater would violate the constitution and would create a danger of the public disturbance of public morals the present controversy differs from this claim because the activities of the vast majority of those activities are engaged in the private sector of the past two decades or about the grounds of civil rights laws the present case involves totally different first amendment challenges to local laws that apply to speech and press the state of is one of the primary purposes of the first amendment the state of is a state, its branch is committed to police by a group of people—in obedience to the laws of the and of — of the of the purpose of freedom of speech and press is to carry a message to its patrons an identification of this kind of law, the state of is the prerogative of the first amendment to alter nor is this identification of the intent of a single, vague law enforcement activity is one of the principal purposes of the first amendment see states i this is the reason why the same application of the constitution to this case should be judged on the basis of the law as the facts shown by this record, which, in my view, permits the court to correct its conclusion by applying what is clear in the opinion of the court of in accordance with that rule, we must look no further than the facts developed in the record, which are relevant to this case if the evidence is such that a first amendment claim is barred by the constitution, then it will be made under the clause any person seeking to in any public place or in a public building is required to submit to such a procedure as is available in the public interest to public use so long as the opportunities of the persons directly affected are likely to be minimal and constitutional, this court should be able to reach a final judgment upon the record when we look no further than to the bare minimum necessary for a full evaluation of the doctrines of the first amendment, we reach a different result an employee under a law enforcement agency will be deemed ineligible, if the state meets certain conditions the court today rejects the proposal, and then proceeds to the court of the state of i agree with the judgment of the court, as read the opinion of the court, which is consistent with the statute a second flaw in the courts approach is the clause only those sensitive to the dignity of a public employee, the less endangered person to whom protection is sought to be secure and to which it is dedicated because of this danger of the suppression of free speech, the overbreadth doctrine is designed in part to protect public employees from the imposition of the most effective means of fostering public ends, and of protecting the public as well as others the result is that where the state directly infringes the individuals right to hold an office, the first amendment requires that the state bear the burden of proving that the law is substantially overbroad if the state meets the eye of its employees in a public service what is meaningful, however, is that it is not unconstitutionally vague, unless it is reasonable, if it is not clear that it does not impose any conceivable limitation on protected activity, or that it poses a substantial risk of unwanted fragmentation or even harassment in my view, a public employee is safe from the constraints of the first amendment as he normally does, and his activities are not presumptively "proscribable" because of a denial of employment to those with whom he was not a party a public employee, who is otherwise qualified to do the right to practice law, may be required to surrender his job opportunity prior to its cause, and may have been barred from expressing his political views by those who voted for him if a private party is not a government employees protection, he may be forced to surrender his right to remain silent and refuses to admit it to the public at large, during any period of time if this procedure were applied, the defendants were employees the employees would be notified and given a chance to be discharged on the basis of their political affiliations and their political affiliations with political and social organizations the procedure required that a public employee be hired or placed on the basis of his or ======================================== SAMPLE 90 ======================================== we, for example, observed that the might in each case represent a calculated course of action, not this courts own speech, but the court ruled that they could not, for example, show the existence of less restrictive alternatives in the curricular context we assume, of course, that neither the "generally acceptable" standard would have been applied in the public schools, or will not have been applied to this case but we have not previously recharacterized the issue of schools, not the public schools, and no less than our present cases dealing with racial discrimination, we should admit that the broad discretion accorded the decisions of our holding today will not be abused in we upheld the constitutionality of a state plan because it provided a "secularism" to the students in a racially restrictive environment , at concluding that, under the principles of racially motivated student organizations in their educational mission, the school district exhibited a marked and marked private and racially gerrymander that would be unconstitutional the constitutionality of this act is therefore properly before us as it is concededly elementary schools have a close record of law as a result of their role to raising students in the classroom as a result, the evidence adduced at this trial hardly supports the courts interpretation of the first amendment this case is thus properly here, not because the text of the constitution appears to allow in the court held that strict scrutiny of racial discrimination in access to the classroom during its public schools did not violate the clause we nevertheless held that strict scrutiny of institutionalized school district access to school facilities did not infringe the clause because the court did not, as a threshold matter, limit the availability of facilities to school of and, more particularly, declared that its order limited access to the facilities this holding did not create a constitutional flaw the courts opinion in relied on and distinguish among different categories of access requests contained in the courts opinion the schools are operated by a supervisory personnel of the schools yet the schools are governed by the constitution the schools are governed by the statutory classification set out in a companion statute, the of each year or more has a indeed, the provides no local or public school located within the

superintendent of the school district, which then filed suit against the schools alleging a discriminatory sex discrimination against poor and a sex discrimination in violation of the clause of the first amendment applied to the states court for the of asserted that it violated the clause by not excluding schools in its public schools the schools were granted access to the schools, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief under of the act ofas amended c, but that the had failed to give the plaintiffs federal rights under of the act and granted the defendants federal rights under the first and fourteenth amendments the case was argued last in the court a three-judge court was convened to consider the constitutionality of a federal statute that provided for access by persons in its public schools to become well established and who are being disabled from the ability of the states to provide education the cases were consolidated in the courts for the second stipulation of the defendants renewed the case but also plead guilty personnel policies on discrimination in violation of the clause of the fifth amendment in a letter to the on a three-judge court, and a second held the act unconstitutional on its face because it did not authorize discrimination against females between large and small families the court also considered the constitutionality of a federal statute that allowed the use of public school facilities to be used exclusively for education provided in public schools the court rejected the argument that the statute was unconstitutional as applied to because it did not provide id the court also rejectedargument that the statute violated the clause by expressly denying access to women to women seeking abortions of their parents choosing to have abortions of their own choosing we granted certiorari to determine whether the statute is constitutional on its face in violation of the clause of the constitution we hold that it does not * we held in we held that discriminatory access by public officials in the public schools violated the clause of the first amendment we recognized that the amendments guarantees of free speech and thought do not create an exception for speech and that the first amendment does not require such a public assembly smith third, we noted that in a student in a public school a private club in not accept club premises are available in public schools, and that high school students in and a private club were likely to choose to conduct prayer group activities meeting official prayer group activities during noninstructional time we concluded that the student activities and student activities at issue were the activities of "cafchers" a private club, id , atand held that the law could not constitutionally prohibit the ======================================== SAMPLE 91 ======================================== -related interest in protecting the physical integrity of its streets and esthetics the court found that the ordinances appellants contention that there are any constitutional ground requiring a group of access to the streets is unconstitutionally vague the argument that a regulation requiring the submission of certain items by those they are not permitted by the ordinance is untenable we find this contention in turn appellant challenges subsections and the ordinance requiring that the administrator be demonstrated that he must have reasonable time, place and manner restrictions the court concluded that the village ordinance is unconstitutionally vague on its face, but sustained the ordinance as vague, observing that this section is unconstitutionally vague and uncertain we do not read the of such a specific notice of the ordinance as being inconsistent with its vagueness the case is therefore properly here on appeal from the highest court we have had very little experience with decisions involving conflicting claims involving facial constitutional challenges to state criminal statutes the proper first amendment standard is applicable to this case accordingly, we intimate no opinion but each time the ones mind when we consider the nature of the first amendment rights implicated the central language in was clearly stated by the court in its opinion our opinion focused on the racial character of the racial classification and the the underpinnings of racial discrimination and the resulting disparate treatment of different people the court ruled that strict judicial scrutiny of allegedly unconstitutional racial classifications was improper because the objectives of the were sufficiently related to the purposes of the the court declared that strict judicial scrutiny of the legislative record and the administrative record of the proceedings was unconstitutionally vague these decisions recognize that decisions dealing with racial bias or in other cases may be relied upon under the clause of the fourteenth amendment: and since see also this fact provides a sufficient basis for invalidating a challenged state statute unless we have been clear that there are other circumstances in which to fall within the purview of the fourteenth amendment is to be resolved: first, it must be rejected that kind of facial discrimination which has been the subject of this litigation in this case, the court held that the ordinance violates the clause of the fourteenth amendment by unconstitutional vagueness we are not persuaded, however, that the ordinance is void for vagueness because it makes no sense to include a kind of broad statutory language that might well be vague, indefinite, and unconstitutionally vague to say that the "lucrative" portion of the ordinance was invalid because it lacked a necessary scienter requirement is that it withstands a substantial federal interest and that the provision lacks explicit warning the court in relied on this legislative history to justify its decision by reference to the circumstances of this case appellant claims that if construed to permit such unconstitutionality it is impermissibly vague, appellant has alleged that he failed to give ever alleged the unconstitutionality of the ordinance in a constitutional manner appellant claims that he failed to do so because the ordinance is vague and indefinite, and that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite we find it unnecessary to parse the hypothetical applications of the ordinance to appellants claim, and to do so for purposes of argument that his conviction must be reversed because it failed to include a lesser degree of time requirements as to the ordinance as applied appellant challenges the decision of the court of its decision of the court of the ordinance as applied to him is unconstitutionally vague, and therefore vagueness and invalid it is well established that even though this facial challenge might be entertained on the merits, the decision of the court of is not before us appellant claims a facial challenge to the ordinance as well as an attack upon the ordinance as applied we noted probable jurisdiction we hold that both the ordinance and the ordinance face with respect to the first and fourteenth amendments, we conclude that the court of should be limited to abstaining from deciding appellants constitutional claims the challenges the ordinance are under the first amendment overbroad, and therefore do not have to be adjudged the challenge is to the constitutionality of the ordinance and thus to the court of the antinoise ordinance is also constitutionally vague this ordinance is not susceptible to a limiting construction by a state court, and is, rather, void on its face see also if it is not so construed, we may not on its face void on its face but also vague laws may be constitutionally applied to invalid on its face, we shall not be applied to the court of first, a substantial vagueness challenge to a state provision must fail because the construction in the ordinance preserves the peace and order of a substantial orderly administration we agree with the court of that appellants challenge is a facial challenge to the ordinance appellant claims that he could not constitutionally be convicted solely because he failed to comply with the ordinance because he failed to comply with the ordinance because he failed to include the vague, imprecise, and because the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, and ======================================== SAMPLE 92 ======================================== the fact that the conduct was criminal is a sufficient reason for the ban is the definition of an offense under the act to hold that the act is unconstitutionally vague to prohibit only conduct that is criminal is bound and void, when the basis for the statute is unclear and meaningless to hold otherwise would be to invite courts to delve into the fabric of the act, and so forth with respect to the act is unconstitutionally vague to impose criminal sanctions for conduct that is not protected by the first amendment it is urged on its motion for summary judgment in this case to review a judgment of unconstitutionality in the courts of for the fifthstated in appellees language in the statute a, was intended to be constitutionally impermissibly vague the decision of the court rested on its view of the principles of comity established by the decisions of this court one of the fundamental errors in the judgment was that it neitherizmet procedural rules nor any language in the decisions of this court compels the result these rules are in marked contrast to the general rule in dicta: the government may require notice of its citizens if it will act with a reasonable notice of the method it may attempt to do so see of state of since the enactment in states may be constitutionally applied only where the procedure is fairly surely vague and rigid, both requirements should be applied to the case before us appellants maintain that the procedures governing the prosecution, and the need to provide notice of both proposed for the first time in our decision emphasize the need for notice of the hypothetical claims and the possibility of future notice and hearing in this court the procedures specified in the act appear in full to the requirements that notice be given to persons in their proceedings one of the requirements meant b, as which was found in appellants acknowledges that notice in future cases may be required at certain forms they do not even mention or discuss a specific rule, or they may be held that any notice must be given to the defendant and not as a result of an otherwise valid notice procedure as a prerequisite to release the charges in the act they appear to the substantiality of the procedure which must be taken in this respect as a part of an attack upon it the fairness of the procedure, as a result of this refined analysis, is not constitutionally impermissible but whether or not the procedure itself appears excessive and whether it appear that reasonable minds may differ about whether a reasonable factfinder could conclude, for example, that the evidence and evidence presented in the form of a motion to dismiss were admitted in evidence the fairness demands that notice be given to persons be informed at some time and that reasonable minds may differ about whether reasonable minds could differ about how a conclusion might be obtained from them, and so whether reasonable minds could differ with view of the fairness of that counsel to be sure, counsel for the state in this area, counsel for the state might well be said, provided there are no necessary standards for deciding which persons could not be punished for a brief and without counsel but the possibility of lifetime counsel to the state on this record presents no basis for the courts strained invocation of legal standards in this area of constitutional law the question presented is whether the state violated due process when it enacts a statute designed to protect the free administration of justice in the courts of the states by redirection petitioner stated on oral argument in his own behalf: to the extent that it was intended to redress a g enforcement of the statute, counsel for the state might request that the group, being adjudged unlawful prior to notice, might be considered to be as effectively proscribed by the act we disagree with the characterization of the situation, and the possibility of future criminal punishment if the defendant himself appeared on the bill as a full trial on the charge and reasonable belief, for that reason, if it were enough to convict under the act that he would be considered as written our decision today, however, is relevant to the question whether the act of doing compelled or upon notice and hearing rises to what procedural protections normally are available to protect the rights of all defendants within the state of we hold that the act cannot be so neatly fitted to the furtherance of a compelling state interest appellants sixth amendment rights, and this court for the fifth in the companion case to the due process claim in the process of applying a rule in petitionersstate of that case, we held that the act could not be so neatly designed to secure procedural rights because it could not be so drafted the court was careful to note that in neither case did the court indicate a precise issue as to the limitations on state procedural rights, nor did it even say that, in the exercise of these limitations, a federal court could consider the constitutionality of the federal counsel signing of a state constitutional right in the present case, however, there is no dispute whatsoever that appellee could not be prevented from being prosecuted or prosecuted from exercising those rights the under which he stands charged has the right to counsel: in ======================================== SAMPLE 93 ======================================== person or one of its employees is a general "meet and confer" with a major segment of the press a lawsuit, involving the latter, is not necessarily so initiated and might be interpreted by this court as nonjurisdictional rather, the question is whether a statute is constitutional under the first amendment we hold that the clause of the first amendment, standing alone, protects "freedom of speech accordingly, the judgment of the court of is in a state criminal proceeding, we are expressly limited to those criminal cases, we hold that the first and fourteenth amendments prevent the states from denying access to the criminal trial to the defendantss words and symbols * facts in this case are these: a trial on a charge of criminal conspiracy may be a requisite to the defendant if the defendant is the victim of a minor misdemeanor or by the defendant if the defendant, for example, obstructed a full bench of motion for a

appellants constitutional challenges to the statute based on the first count of the indictment, but ruled that both and were unconstitutional appellants requested the court to set aside the severability and enforcement of the remainder of the statute as a final judgment on the merits the court ofon separate for a somewhat different theory the court concluded that both sections of the act were unconstitutional under the first and fourteenth amendments because they contained no right protected against state abridgment by the first and fourteenth amendments the first, this court, on review from the court of held that the act of a state, specifically dismissed from a state for a construction of the act, did not contain the first part of the act, but instead held that the entire act could not constitutionally be applied to the defendants the act is the product of legislative intent it is the product of an intent to provide a statutory definition of the crime, and has a close relationship to it see states the second example is the act the act, the act, the act, was passed in to centralize a state criminal defendant charged with the offense of a minor more specifically is the act, the primary focus of our decisions is on the scope of the immunity granted by that immunity from state abridgment is clear and certain the court also concluded that the court of reversed and observed that the court first held that a was an unconstitutional infringement upon the rights of those accused of a minor to obtain counsel of his own alleged civil rights conjecting that holding, the court held that the second sentence of the act was unconstitutionally vague, pointing out that the immunity provision did not provide for counsel in the constitutional sense the court of also rejected appellants constitutional challenges based on the first clause the court of also held that both statutes required conviction of members of the court emphasized that there was no element in the act to provide a definition of the crime, and the court further held that both statutes required a prospective juror to be counsel appointed pursuant to the court concluded that both statutes were unconstitutional under the clause we noted probable jurisdiction and now affirm we hold that the act is facially unconstitutional, and affirm the judgment of the court of in the order below appellants contend that the section is facially invalid as applied to them because it unconstitutionally infringes on their rights under the first and fourteenth amendments we have already noted that, under the first and fourteenth amendments, a state may not set a statute on the basis of which it is a more precise time, place, and manner than a similar statute we also conclude that the judgment below is affirmed, and accordingly the court of may exercise appropriate remedial or preventive power consistent with the first and fourteenth amendments * several young people were arrested at appellants

religion at page at pages — at pages — this is why this case is presented by a claim of equal protection under the clause of the fifth amendment no claim was made against anyone to do or to sell religious literature he could not, however, volunteer to give a solemn, yet non-religious, benefit in a church to be accommodated by his refusal to do so he could do this for two reasons: government may not compel anyone to mail to attend to be saloonous, even if the individual wishes to read the statute in the first instance the problem presented by this appeal is fundamental to the well-being of the individuals the best interests of those who may be burdened by the enforcement of the statute are not to be destroyed on their face, this may be a different matter from that involved in the case if the right to read the statute unconstitutionally is coextensive with the right to read that are protected under the clause, then the statute cannot be said to be violative of that protected freedoms in an administrative scheme the court concedes that its interest in protecting the tranquility of the quiet is not always so compelling that the same degree of constitutional protection be accorded to attempts by the individual by government: ante religious, as opposed to the use of a general breach of the peace is essentially the same as an unpopular encounter by a police officer with his religious scruples and not against his religious scruples i would also hold the statute unconstitutional nor can it be seriously contended that its primary concern is with preventing a breach of

attorney-client relationships he also stated that he had only provided for the written request that the statement be made in the form required by the state to be filed with the court and that there was no authority for the disciplinary action in the practice of law we therefore cannot agree with the appellants contention that this particular application of the disciplinary rule violated his rights under the first and fourteenth amendments in this case, appellant was convicted of violating the first and fourteenth amendments to the constitution and of the of he has been convicted of violating a state law governing obscenity he did not seek to challenge the constitutionality of the definition under procedure in this case instead, he did raise the constitutional issues in the first

celebration and of disputty that these show a reasonable distance is approximately square it is possible, of course, that the general area of the citys eagerness to provide these confers is a far more serious concern to the officials than this court has in fact faced here as with the vagueness of the disorderly conduct ordinance as the court of construed: at the very least this ordinance does not prohibit the entire class of offense that, in its terms, is specifically directed at controlling public streets and sidewalks the court of held that the ordinance may be enforced against petitioners for an injunction to allow them to be held in criminal contempt for violating the ordinance here, the state prosecutor and the have enforced a statute to protect itself as petitioner agrees and was not arrested and convicted on any charge against him for a vagrancy offense the offense of disorderly conduct is not the essence of criminal contempt, which is the definition of disorderly conduct the court of said: in other words, where a ordinance is directed to those present, we find the ordinance as vague and indefinite the ordinance is not vague and therefore constitutionally vague but we do not believe that the ordinance as construed by the court is impermissibly vague, and therefore cannot be said to be invalid we agree with the contention of the state of that he is convicted he is sentenced for a period of not less than that he is not dedicated to certain fixed or defined expression; he remains on a charge of disorderly conduct peace petitioners were convicted for violating the statute when they were convicted in the city for a number of reasons for which the ordinance was applied and it is on this charge that their convictions were sustained because the evidence fails to support the convictions petitioner was convicted on this charge of disorderly conduct in the city of without a permit he was convicted on the charge that he was the kind of "public" offense that the ordinance annals of the ordinance on its face because of the ambiguity in the ordinance, we fail to see how the ordinance as construed is vague he is making no effort to section that broad discretion will be delegated to the court of he has no constitutional right to a conviction under these conditions that refusing a permit to the practice of delegating power over his authority to the administrative officials he is entitled to the opportunity of an unwarranted discretion to arrest and consequently his conviction may be sustained thus, as was said in when the ordinance is saved by the "clear and convincing" requirements of a and the standard of is that when applied to the grounds for permits, the unbridled discretion of official discretion may not be exercised in a manner that was intended to lead to the "disbridled discretion" of official licensing " rule, laid down by the court in could have been applied to a permit situation based on its application in such a situation true, the "complete" licensing law applied only when the "clearly created discretion" explicitly authorizing the licensing of "public streets and sidewalks was in issue such a scheme requires prompt judicial review of a court decision in a case such as this is here because it does not authorize a court to order a license, on the basis of the "complete" notice requirements, to hold that a clear arbitrary basis exists and that a fairly definite method for a plausible method of obtaining the application is in violation of the first and fourteenth amendments because the nature of the licensing requirement is "clear and convincing" and "prosely tailored" to the ordinance, we conclude that - is facially invalid we accordingly begin our examination of the licensing requirement and the nature of the licensing requirement three small common-law "factual" procedural safeguards are required three important considerations must be given to the validity of a licensing requirement first, the licensing requirement, properly understood, is a decision motivated by a "discipline" in the municipal sense as we see it, the licensing requirement will always be challenged on account of the local procedure, such as that imposed on constitutionally unprotected conduct, which must be accompanied by requirements that the licensors discretion fourth, the licensing requirement must be limited to those that may be specifically authorized third, there is no requirement that there be a "clear and convincing" procedure at all a state must require that the "clear and convincing" standard be applied in the first instance, there must be a "clear and convincing" standard at the licensing scheme this court is not compelled to apply traditional principles of first amendment doctrine to this case the established standard of review is of a a, and has the practical application by this court to any particularized inquiry into the reasonableness of a licensing requirement we cannot say on this record that the scheme created by the state licensing scheme is plainly one-inclusive: the thus, the scheme is not merely one-inclusive definition of a licensing requirement, but there is no suggestion in the record before us that the has not promulgated any such requirement fourth, in contrast to the ======================================== SAMPLE 97 ======================================== of the the court declared its prior decision in and issued a separate per curiam opinion, and upheld it on the ground that the majority of the court and the court of had jurisdiction to consider this case under we granted certiorari to review the decision of the court of this case requires us to decide whether a large extent of state law requires an state to make space available for the utility in other words, appellees have alleged a violation of a state law requiring purchasers of religious literature to display a religious literature and do not challenge the right of religious freedom in the marketplace of literature a general applicability of this particularity to a license based on a newspaper burdens to sell literature it is beyond question that a newspaper is better hesitant than a retail distributor in a store that makes itself harmful to sell his publications in arguing for right of religious freedom, the court said: in this case, the statute mandates a flat denial of a license to the placement of literature on city property to be sold in a public park the licensing requirement was thought to be in the nature of a licensing requirement such a scheme would in no sense be said to be an establishment of religion contrary to the clause as the court said at pageand under the clause there would be very little question whether the licensing requirement was enforced by the state with respect to the "ty secured anonymity" afforded speech and publication by the general application of the licensing requirements the courts below rejected appelleess claim would not, on the one hand, stay the courts decision, despite its claim that the application of the - clause is coextensive with the clause on the merits, the court of agreed on appellees motion to quash is the case on the merits, and consequently dismissal is no proper way to review the decision of the court in this posture we agree that the licensing requirements are unconstitutionally vague, but that the -first amendment does not give them speech the operation of the -first amendment is such a construction, it certainly requires a reversal of the judgment below but even if this construction is unconstitutionally vague, we should be particularly reluctant to do so in this case accordingly, the judgment of the court of is reversed and the case is remanded to the court of for further proceedings consistent with this opinion there can be no doubt that the -first amendment made the prohibition against discriminatory treatment in the public accommodations law by persons formerly "vocal" opponents of such a policy at their initial licensing hearings and "yude" opponents because believe that the policy laid at the licensing requirements impinge on constitutional rights, the judgment of the court of is vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion the public accommodations law is a part of a comprehensive, well-established, objective, and an exception to the special rule that a race-based classification provision singling out one race to a sex or expressive classification violates the clause of the fourteenth amendment the court decides the case as if the exception to the sales tax is found to apply to the sales tax, it is not unconstitutional as applied to the public accommodations law the court thus reaches the conclusion that it may not be applied to the court correctly notes that if the exception is to be construed to avoid discrimination on the basis of sex, it must be held to withstand the exception for sales taxes or sales taxes to the total exclusion of groups within the reach of the exception from the exception the court appears to concede these assertions, see that the exception is to be construed to avoid constitutional questions i am not prepared to accept the pluralitys solution tosses its implications in this case there are a good reason why the exception should be construed to avoid such a result the court draws the result in the case as an out-of-state requirement, and thereby calls for an uncertain result the question is whether the exception for sales taxes is constitutionally infirm as applied to sales activity conducted by a religious organization the issue is whether a local sales tax which is legally exempt from the act under challenge is a at page at pageand is exempt from the sales tax under the exemption of the act from the sales tax, and is therefore exempt from the sales and use taxes the present case involves a sales tax on its face, the sales tax is in issue exempts from the sales tax only those sales made by a sales tax organization and has the effect of raising and revenue from the local sales tax which is at the local sales tax, the act exempts from the sales tax appellees challenge the enforcement of the sales tax on the ground that it discriminates against their customers in other states the statute makes the taxpayers their objection to the collection of the real-world violations of the act by the selling of real estate items the documents sought are of interest in the community appellees here stipulated that the is an integral part of a national business which depends on a fundamental element in the sale of goods and services, and is the functional equivalent ======================================== SAMPLE 98 ======================================== to defend its substantive principle but we have ruled that laws aimed at safeguarding health care groups and not directly related to the needs of its members in an individual case and who seek to bring their claims to the same federal forum in the final analysis, we address briefly the arguments made by the appellee and intervenors in that court the appellants attack the restrictions on door-to-door canvassing for goods and materials, as well as counseling for the movement of thousands of thousands of patrons, but we do not believe they do so the only relevant question is whether appellees may constitutionally be denied access to the sidewalks, notwithstanding that the regulations do not require that a solicitor of such solicitors to obtain a fee the only claim that the restriction on door-to-door canvassing for sales of merchandise, the provisions of which are much like the one in question yet, as we have held, the record does not support any claim that the regulations satisfy the first amendment rights of those to whom it seeks to protect the security of the home conceivably the enforcement of these valid rules may be constitutionally applied only if the time and style of the regulation are not otherwise provided by the standards of the fourth amendment yet the controlling analysis is the fundamental objective of the first amendment, and this is so because the state may have the power to take to bear the burden of proving that its exercise is impermissible for the same reasons we invalidated the requirements of the fourteenth amendment and the cases before us, the judgment of the court of should be affirmed that judgment in this case is affirmed petitioners are the owners of one large building housing in the the shopping center in were small retail merchants, including petitionerers, brought suit against petitioner to challenge the constitutionality of the ordinance under the first and fourteenth amendments and of the first and fourteenth amendments, to the court of as authorized by the -first, they sought declaratory and injunctive relief against enforcement of the ordinance as well as injunctive relief as to the application of the ordinance to the mall tenants the secondary effects were and the court granted a determination by the lower courts that the ordinance is unconstitutional and that the ordinance is not vague and overbroad, and granted an injunction and was directed to the two particularities of the mall the court determined that the issues were essentially factual in the statutory and antitrust context there was no opinion but two assertions; and second, a third determination supported by the preponderance of the evidence was the presence of the mall in connection with the mall activity was that the title of the mall had been sufficiently large, cumbersome, and possibly anti-union to be present in the mall and fourth, it is abundantly clear that the mall had a traditional, non-professional shopping center that was itself open to the public for purposes related to mall operations the mall distributed the mall in the mall immediately adjacent to the mall the mall urged the mall to adopt the mall for the mall and to provide for a special mall owner or a special mall located on the mall premises in the mall, and to attract customers to the mall the court of for the fifth agreed that the mall could not constitutionally be excluded from the mall or in other mall materials, and therefore held the case to be considered as a within the mall the court of distinguished judges, however, from the basis of the record the court of held that this was deemed a close case and was not presented to the en banc court the court of then concluded that the evidence presented sufficient to demonstrate that the company was a non-public shopping center and that its enforcement of the no-solicitation rule against the mall in this case would not have been considered an enforcement of the no-solicitation rule, it is sufficient to demonstrate that the mall not only was located open for expressive activity the court of therefore thought it proper to conclude that the mall had a similar relationship with the mall in we find no such relationship here third, we conclude that the mall is not property protected under the first amendment as we have already noted, the mall is not an exception to the general rule that this is not its face the mall is a non-public shopping center to hold title to acres, for the use of persons seeking such goods of the mall are such an enclosed mall and are reasonably related to the shopping center to draw the distinction between the mall and the mall the mall in and was a non-public shopping center supplied by the mall to buy from employees of the mall the mall was mall open and expressly distributed to employees in the mall without a directly pertinent exception to the malls business appeared to be unrelated to the mall activity and its shopping mall the mall immediately was mall tenants in the mall, and neither was the functional equivalent the mall had a distinctive, non-union ideological title in the mall, and neither nor was there any basis for the special rules promulgated by the lower courts and this court is not now to define the distinctions between the ======================================== SAMPLE 99 ======================================== , and persons of of when faced with a history of harassment, the concept of threats and reprisals is broad the constitution enjoins those who sell books and distribute them simply because of their characteristics characteristics and types the court held that the ordinance served a compelling and enforceable first amendment rights the court stated that the clause does not protect that right as a result, the court recognized that the governmental interests of the signer were compelling and that there are compelling differences in the circumstances of this case the critical question then is whether the governmental interest in regulating expression justifies even the incidental restriction on protected expression appellee argues that the governmental interest in protecting individuals from exposure to materials of value the states court of for the first held that, in the face of its present applications, the first amendment is not implicated by the governments interests in distinguishing images produced by the nonpublic materials appellee also argue that, since only if the government were acting as a nonpublic forum, the nonpublic forum need only be associated with the content of the expression we have already noted that this interest is not sufficiently compelling to justify application of its statute to the content of the communicative materials it argues would be constitutionally protected the court of rejected appellants view that, without distinguishing the films from the films, the government has not explained that the designated nonpublic persons may do so by the ordinary standards of decency the traditional standard of decency is not always so inherently subjective, as is here to be deemed by the legislature to be neutral as to the most exacting standards of decency we are not persuaded by the states public interest sufficient to justify application of its prophylactic rules to evaluate the content of protected materials appellee also objects that the ordinance is invalid on its face because it is misin defining the manner in which a validly governmental interest may be protected, and that the requirements of the first amendment do not necessitate a invalidation of this particular aspect of the ordinance in this respect we explain why the state interest in protecting children from exposure to indecent material, even if the interest protected by the first and fourteenth amendments was implicated the provision here at issue is of particular importance because it values the act specifically assorts parents to shield children whose parents, we are told, have just this interest, while not in grave moment striking down the ordinance as a whole the second provision, therefore, cannot be said to be the words of the statute, and in the light of the narrowing construction placed on state law only if it is plainly protected by the first and fourteenth amendments there is no real need to rely on the words in the text of the statute or in its legislative history, for the purposes of the first amendment, or for the cases before us, to construe a court in order to give more meaning to the words of the ordinance than does the ordinance a court, when faced with a question of interpretation to a state court, ought not to be stretched too broadly to include within the first amendments speech the intended purposes of the ordinance were it is to be held that scienter, in order to read this statement, prohibits the possession of obscene material on the premises, even if only a tiny fraction of the time the required characterizing the materials the words of the second provision, therefore, do not give a meaning to the meaning of the ordinance they propose a result which, while not sufficiently explicit, allows schools and school to draw reasonable inferences and a congressional judgment which may be characterized as nonlegislative consequences in light of these considerations, we think these cases present a substantial federal question the court of went on to rule that a scienter requirement, particularly a requirement, is "unconstitutionally vague" and that the overbreadth doctrines definition is unconstitutionally vague we are dealing with the kind of scienter requirement that was described in the court ofas a definition of the definition of the definition contained in the opinion, which includes a scienter requirement the term "contemporary community standards" and "contemporary community standards" necessitate that the nature of the definition shall be given fair notice and hearing by local law enforcement officials we think the court of followed this interpretation in the ordinance is not vague, we think it may be that determination is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite, not definite the ordinance is not vague and indefinite; it is sufficiently clear that it impermissibly proscribes the type of scienter requirement that a depiction be of sexually explicit conduct and not be made explicit in the community the court of referred to the ordinance as one of "strict and we do not think it would be false to the state courts on this record that the definition of the word "indecent" and "caers upon an scale of scienter required a more definite definition, since we assume arguendo such a construction might well be unconstitutionally applied to the appellant claims a claim under the ordinance in this case since the language of the ordinance has ======================================== SAMPLE 100 ======================================== which lies on a number of merchants in these cases we consider private speech has not been accorded greater protection to the privacy of the home or the rights of its recipients here, it is important to emphasize that we are not concerned in this case with the constitutionality of the act or similarly statute the guarantees of the first amendment apply to governmental and commercial speech as we have noted, our cases do not, and we think, foreclose the notion that the act survives the first amendments command that the government do not apply strict scrutiny in this case in assessing the governments interest is a compelling governmental interest, and its restriction is no less necessary to satisfy the constitutional requirement that there be alternative channels of communication to the home, a stronger argument to support the prohibition the importance of the interests at stake is what is at stake, a governmental interest must be furthered if the government can assert a first amendment interest applying these principles to the instant case, the court held that the act did not violate the constitution because there was the court therefore concluded that the act did not violate the first amendment because it protects authors freedom to express their views on public issues the court thus found that the act violated the first amendment because it was the case in part because it interfered with the with freedom of the press, and because it was based on the statea large public interest in protecting theright of access to the ballot the court concluded that the act blocked the from enforcing the first amendment by arbitrarily restricting access in the closed shop to cases of private welfare and by denying the access to persons seeking access to the streets to the clinics the court also found that the act had been applied in violation of the fourteenth amendment because it interfered with rights protected by the first, fourteenth, and seventeeth amendments the court concluded that the act violated the fourteenth amendment by authorizing a preliminary injunction to enforce the agreement by a heightened review of the first amendment issue the court held that this case did not present a prior case and that the enforcement of the act had violated the clause the court first held that, under the clause of the fourteenth amendment, a defendant charged with a violation of the act had failed to meet the affirmative defense the court also noted that the claim for attorneys had failed to satisfy the appellees motion for a preliminary injunction and required the submission of a claim second, the court concluded that the case was governed by state law and by federal law and by a federal statute we noted probable jurisdiction to determine whether the facts called for by the court are such a facts that counsel were denied standing to argue on this aspect of the case before the case was heard on the merits, counsel for appellants attempted to assert first amendment rights on the merits of their motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the case was not presented in the context of the facts alleged at oral argument counsel for appellants sought to defend the judgment on the ground that there was neither facts nor facts alleged after the parties had neither counsel nor counsel, counsel for appellants suggested that the case was moot because it did not present a substantial federal question that was not presented in the proceedings which the court of had presented in the state-law question and therefore preserved a full adversary proceeding prior to the full adjudication of his federal constitutional claim there is no argument in this case which even if appellants were likely to be present in this court before this court, we would have a different case if the case were not pressed on this aspect of the case even if appellants might properly be able to present a realistic danger of our criminal procedure should not prevent that possibility here it may be that in order to avoid all constitutional difficulties properly addressed, but the record before us does not support that claim in the courts of refused to recognize the possibility of a final judgment in any event, when appellants sought review of the judgment on the merits, we might be faced with the necessity of considering other possible constitutional issues which would not be raised if counsel were given the opportunity to be heard on the merits the question before us is whether the court in this respect, and to whether the state court had jurisdiction over these two cases to review the dismissal of their appeal, as this appeal has alleged the controversy here is a good one, and the opportunity for a final judgment is sufficient to justify appellants rights to the protection of the first and fourteenth amendments in we held that appellants suspension of a state college fee for a silent period prior to the decision on the merits and without submission to the federal court by the appellees in this case that their denial of their motion to review was, under law, one under law it is in the nature of this case that the court held that the constitutionality of the fee limitation is the court concluded that , at d, at chief in also rejected the contention that, on the facts of the case, a fee should not be granted which it could not, if it were constitutionally made, and would not be used as a fee there is
