Cohen v. California

Luke Smith Morgan

Another famous First Amendment case I can't let you out of this class having not read. Why is it in this section? It does not mention vagueness, overbreadth, or facial or as-applied challenges. What's the law at issue? What, exactly, is the Court's holding?

Supreme Court of the United States

29 L. Ed. 2d 284, 91 S. Ct. 1780, 403 U.S. 15, 1971 U.S. LEXIS 32
