Along with a podcast for the American Constitution Center and an NPR interview running the morning of the Tam argument (next Wednesday), I’ll also be on a post-argument panel at AU–the panel before features none other than Tam himself.

In PIJIP’s ongoing Supreme Court Series, a panel of counsel for amici and parties will discuss the case on the afternoon following oral argument before the Court.
Issue in Lee: Whether the disparagement provision of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1052(a), which provides that no trademark shall be refused registration on account of its nature unless, inter alia, it “[c]onsists of . . . matter which may disparage . . . persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols, or bring them into contempt, or disrepute” is facially invalid under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.
Prof. Michael Carroll, American University Washington College of Law (Moderator)
