DU professor panel discusses key First Amendment Supreme Court cases

Three law professors hosted a panel discussion about cases being reviewed by the Supreme Court on February 13 at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Clay Calvert, Derigan Silver, and Alan Chen were the three panelist members. 

In Silver’s announcement of the panel, he described it as, “a panel discussion with Prof. Clay Calvert, Prof. Alan Chen, and myself. We will be discussing the Supreme Court’s First Amendment cases from 2019 and those it will be hearing in 2020. I think you’ll enjoy hearing from Profs. Chen and Calvert.” 

The panel specifically focused on media law cases within the past several years. The professors discussed the outcomes of various trials and inserted their professional opinion and viewpoint on the case rulings. 

“As we advance in technology development, the cases that the Supreme Court hears become precedents for future cases regarding different media platforms. The past few years especially have seen some interesting cases involving Twitter” said Chen.

    This event sounds very interesting and informative. Great descriptive language used. It made me want to read further into current and past FA cases regarding media law.
