		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
Perhaps surprisingly, free speech jurisprudence in the Supreme Court began in earnest only in the second decade of the 20th century. The subject that caught the Court&#8217;s and the nation&#8217;s attention during that period was advocacy of illegal conduct and, more specifically, subversive advocacy. Did the First Amendment protect the speech of those advocating interference [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nahmodlaw.com&blog=8604426&post=381&subd=nahmodlaw&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
Are there state of mind requirements for the section 1983 cause of action? The answer is NO as a statutory matter and YES as a constitutional matter.
The Background
Recall that the Supreme Court stated in Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167 (1961), that section 1983 is to be interpreted against &#8220;the background of tort liability.&#8221; What [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nahmodlaw.com&blog=8604426&post=372&subd=nahmodlaw&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The last post dealt with the three major rationales of freedom of speech. This one addresses the important factors to which attention must be paid in every free speech case: content, medium and forum.

Introduction
When I begin teaching the First Amendment course, I introduce freedom of speech by briefly describing the conventional rationales of freedom of speech (this post) and then setting out three factors that are crucial for all free speech analysis (a subsequent post).
