REVISITING THE RIGHT TO OFFEND FORTY YEARS AFTER COHEN v. CALIFORNIA: ONE CASE'S LEGACY ON FIRST AMENDMENT JURISPRUDENCE BY CLAY CALVERT ABSTRACT This article examines the lasting legacy of the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Cohen v. California upon its fortieth anniversary. After providing a primer on the case that draws from briefs filed by both Melville Nimmer (for Robert Paul Cohen) and Michael T. Sauer (for California), the article examines how subsequent rulings by the nation's High Court were influenced by the logic and reasoning of Justice Harlan's majority opinion in Cohen. The legacy, the article illustrates, is about far more than protecting offensive expression. The article then illustrates how lower courts, at both the state and federal level, have used Cohen to articulate a veritable laundry list of principles regarding First Amendment jurisprudence. -

Exceptions to the First Amendment
Order Code 95-815 A CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Freedom of Speech and Press: Exceptions to the First Amendment Updated July 29, 2004 Henry Cohen Legislative Attorney American Law Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Freedom of Speech and Press: Exceptions to the First Amendment Summary The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press....” This language restricts government both more and less than it would if it were applied literally. It restricts government more in that it applies not only to Congress, but to all branches of the federal government, and to all branches of state and local government. It restricts government less in that it provides no protection to some types of speech and only limited protection to others. This report provides an overview of the major exceptions to the First Amendment — of the ways that the Supreme Court has interpreted the guarantee of freedom of speech and press to provide no protection or only limited protection for some types of speech. For example, the Court has decided that the First Amendment provides no protection to obscenity, child pornography, or speech that constitutes “advocacy of the use of force or of law violation ... where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” The Court has also decided that the First Amendment provides less than full protection to commercial speech, defamation (libel and slander), speech that may be harmful to children, speech broadcast on radio and television, and public employees’ speech. -

TOPIC M: JUVENILE SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND THEIR VICTIMS (For additional assistance, refer to the Commission-approved Specialized Course “Crimes Against Children,” the advanced course, “Sex Crimes,” and the Florida Juvenile Handbook, a joint effort between the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Department of Juvenile Justice and the Department of Children and Families.) OBJECTIVES: The student will: 1. Define “alleged juvenile sexual offender” as (a) A child 12 years of age or younger who is alleged to have committed a violation of 794, 796, 800, 827.071, or 847.0133; or (b) A child (includes children 18 and under) who is alleged to have committed any violation of law or delinquent act involving juvenile sexual abuse. 2. State that child on child sex offenses involve more than experimentation. Juvenile sexual offender behavior ranges from non-contact sexual behavior such as making obscene phone calls, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and the showing or taking of lewd photographs to varying degrees of direct sexual contact, such as frottage, fondling, digital and/or penetration with any other object, rape, fellatio, sodomy, and various other sexually aggressive acts. 3. Define “juvenile sexual abuse” as any sexual behavior that occurs without consent, without equality, or as a result of coercion or manipulative seduction. 4. Define “consent” as intelligent, knowing, and voluntary, and does not include coerced submission. Consent shall not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the alleged victim to offer physical resistance to the offender. 5. Define “equality” as two participants operating with the same level of power in a relationship, neither being controlled nor coerced by the other. -

As a business activity, advertising should be regulable by the state subject only to substantive due process review.' On the other hand, advertising is also a form of expression that raises important questions regarding freedom of speech.2 Sixty years ago, the Supreme Court considered advertising as nothing more than one aspect of commerce. Advertising restrictions were seen as economic regulations that did not involve First Amendment issues In the 1970s, however, the Court began referring to advertising as "commercial speech"4 and recognized that it was not "wholly outside the protection of the First * Associate Professor, University of St. -
