The Legal Show ;Dont Speak

Attorney Sarah Avraham and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day.

The audience should know that although Ms. Avraham is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.

This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.  In the city of Arlington, Virginia, you could be fined up to $250 if you say words that county officials have defined as “profanity”.  The Arlington County Board recently approved a measure which increases penalties for both public intoxication as well as what they are calling “blue language” from $100 to $250.  Doesn’t this fly in the face of the Constitution?  Does “profanity” qualify as “free speech”?  Tune in to hear our hosts answer these and other questions on this issue.
