Marion Rice Kirkwood Moot Court Competition – Final Rounds
- This event has passed.
The Marion Rice Kirkwood Moot Court Competition Finals will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, February 6, in the Moot Court Room.
The finalists will be competing before a distinguished panel of judges: Justice Joshua Groban of the Supreme Court of California, Judge Stephanos Bibas of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and Judge Cornelia T. Pillard of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
This year’s case is Project Veritas, et al. v. Nathan Vasquez, et al.
The issues are:
- Whether Oregon’s law prohibiting the unannounced recording of conversations violates the First Amendment.
- Whether the First Amendment protects the right to record.
- Whether Oregon’s law prohibiting unannounced recordings is content-based and thus subject to strict scrutiny, which it fails.
- Even if Oregon’s law is content-neutral, whether it nonetheless is an invalid restriction on protected speech.
This event is open to the SLS student body. We hope you will be able to join us!
