Court Cases

We filed friend-of-the-court briefs supporting Maine Beacon reporter Dan Neumann. In a victory for journalists’ First Amendment rights, the First Circuit dismissed defamation claims filed by Cheng and Epoch Group.

In a victory for student free speech, a federal appeals court ruled that our client could not be suspended for so-called bullying after posting a note in a girl’s bathroom about sexual assault among students.

We sued the City of Portland for restricting constitutionally protected free speech by banning people from expressing themselves on public medians. A federal appeals court struck down the ban in a major victory for free speech.
