123: Listen and Learn -- First Amendment (Content-Neutral Restrictions)

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, in an episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're discussing the First Amendment - in particular when, where, and how the government can regulate speech through content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Situations in which the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution applies
• Public, limited public, and non-public forums
• Content-based versus content-neutral regulations
• The three-prong test for time, place, and manner restrictions for content-neutral regulation of speech
• Analyzing a hypo from the February 2012 California bar exam
