To watch today’s court session – Jeffrey Rasawehr v. Rebecca Rasawehr and Joni Bey case

ISSUES:
– Do civil stalking protection orders constitute a prior restraint on constitutionally protected free speech if they ban a person from posting any message on social media about those who sought protection orders?
– Does the “speech integral to criminal conduct” exception to protected speech apply to civil stalking protection orders if a trial court makes a finding that the alleged offender harassed the protection-order seeker?
