Relationship

Shared issue: First Amendment
Why compared: Reviewed First Amendment tags connect these current-term public cases.

Rajeh A. Saadeh, Petitioner v. New Jersey State Bar Association: Whether the First Amendment overrides antidiscrimination laws when the discrimination furthers the defendant’s views about “diversity,” “equity,” or “inclusion”?
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, Petitioner v. Sean O'Day, in His Official Capacity as Director of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services: 1. When a state law requires a pharmaceutical company to file reports with the government disclosing information about drug pricing, does that law violate the company’s right to free speech? 2. When a state law permits disclosure of trade secrets reported to a state regulatory body if that disclosure is in the public interest, is that law facially invalid under this Court’s precedent expressly permitting the disclosure of trade secrets in some circumstances?
City of Bossier City, Louisiana v. Richard Hershey: Whether petitioner Bossier City can be held liable under 42 U.S.C. §1983 for its egregious failure to train its law enforcement officers on the First Amendment, which predictably resulted in the violation of respondent Richard Hershey’s clearly established First Amendment right to peacefully distribute religious leaflets on a public sidewalk in a public park.
