Request: Barest Bones list of Recommended 1st Am. Cases to useforFlyby 1st Am. section in Intro con law 2 Individual Rights Course

[Malla Pollack]

Yes, but . be careful to discuss with students the Court's pull back on the
state-action doctrine.  None found now in enforcement of copyright, dilution
(including the Gay Olympics Case about the Amateur Sports Act), trademark
etc.

I'd use New York Times v. Sullivan if I had only one First Amendment case to
teach. Not only is the case extraordinarily rich in terms of First Amendment
theory but it grows out of the civil rights movement and therefore can give
students an appreciation of how history, politics, and law intersect.
