Chicago Free Speech Attorneys

While free speech is guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, this right can be modified by the state or even by the city of Chicago, often in the interest of protecting other civil rights of the public.  One example of free speech law in Chicago is its recently imposed Bubble Ordinance, that slightly modifies the actions of protestors outside abortion clinics by requiring them to maintain a 50-foot buffer zone around clinic entrances and an eight-foot distance from anyone entering or leaving the clinics.

While protestors can continue to protest and communicate from a distance, their free speech lawyers in Chicago maintain that they no longer have access to an audience, rendering their freedom of speech meaningless.  Opposing Chicago free speech lawyers argue that allowing protesters to have direct access to their targets extends beyond free speech to intimidation, violating the basic right to be let alone, possibly the most valued right in our society.

Every day, free speech attorneys in Chicago deal with complicated issues such as this one.  Very often, complaints are levied by protestors with political or religious issues whose message cannot be adequately conveyed from the required locations.  Chicago free speech attorneys on either side of these issues understand the rulings and potential interpretations of the U.S. Constitution, the Illinois Constitution, and free speech law in Chicago to defend the rights of their clients on these any many other free speech issues.
