Marion Rice Kirkwood Moot Court Competition – Semifinal Rounds
- This event has passed.
The Marion Rice Kirkwood Moot Court Competition Semifinals will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, January 30, in the Moot Court Room.
The teams will be competing before a distinguished panel of federal judges: Judge Vince G. Chhabria of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge Loren AliKhan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, as well as the Honorable Sallie Kim, Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of California.
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!
