285: Listen and Learn -- First Amendment (Content-Neutral Restrictions)

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing a popular exam topic from Constitutional Law -- the First Amendment. In particular, we're looking at when, where, and how the government can regulate speech through content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions. In this episode we discuss: Situations in which the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution applies Public, limited public, and non-public forums Content-based versus content-neutral regulations The three-prong test for time, place, and manner restrictions for content-neutral regulation of speech Analyzing a hypo from the February 2012 California bar exam Resources: "Listen and Learn" series (https://lawschooltoolbox.com/law-school-toolbox-podcast-substantive-law-topics/#listen-learn) February 2012 California Bar Examination (https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/admissions/Examinations/February2012CBXQuestions.pdf) Ward v.
