  1. #^Court Kills Speech Ban on Lawyers



    Judges from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee have amended the court’s local rules to remove a provision that prevented attorneys from discussing their cases with the media and the public.

    The changes were sparked by a federal lawsuit, filed by the Institute for Justice on behalf of local civil rights attorney Daniel Horwitz in October 2024.

    This is a huge win for the First Amendment in Middle Tennessee.

    Attorneys have a right to discuss their cases, and the public has a right to know what the government and its contractors are doing wrong.
