Whether advocating for their clients or acting as private citizens, attorneys engage in a variety of First Amendment activities, including protest. So what are an attorney’s rights when they attend a protest? What are the professional and ethical considerations of an attorney when they do so? What duties does an attorney have as an observer? Can an attorney attend a protest in order to find potential clients? This class will explore these questions and more, bringing together the experience of activist attorneys and law enforcement.
