The Legal Show The First Amendment

Attorney Sarah Kopel and writer/critic  Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day. 

The audience should know that although Ms. Kopel 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.

Tonight we discuss the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.  What protections are and are not afforded by the Constitution?  Does this change if you are a public figure?  Can other areas of law affect these rights?  We will explore the words of Phil Robertson and Ted Nugent;   two figures that have made controversial statements recently in regards to their own personal feelings on hot topic issues.
