NULL

Join Legal Services Counsel Stephen Buckley for a review of how municipalities must navigate the constitutional limitations imposed by the First Amendment when regulating door-to-door solicitation, public demonstrations and parades, and public meeting spaces.  This webinar will provide basic insight into US and NH Supreme Court decisions concerning the protection of free speech, the right of assembly and the freedom of religion as those First Amendment freedoms might be affected by municipal ordinances, and how municipal regulation can be harmonized within these constitutional limitations. This webinar will especially benefit governing body members, city and town managers and administrators, police departments, and library officials.
