Assignment for Outcome 1
The Cardigans are a very progressive
with the way they do business, especially with keeping up with the latest laws
and cases that pertain to individual rights and the impact that the laws have
on business. They are planning to introduce a new line of clothing called
“Scantily Clad” with the slogan, “So light You Won’t Know You are Wearing a
Thing!” The local television station WBLAH told Candie Cardigan that it would
not air such a commercial due to content. Furthermore, that it was not
appropriate for children to view it. The Cardigans believe that this is old law
and believe that they are protected under the First Amendment’s Freedom of
Speech.
Your supervising attorney, and one
of CARDWARE’s Corporate Counsel, Rice E. Roni would like for you to analyze case
law in your state as well as the First Amendment Freedom of Speech and
determine if the Cardigans have a right to have their commercial aired or not.
Be sure to discuss whether or not WBLAH is unreasonably abridging the
Cardigans’ rights guaranteed to the individuals under the First Amendment. Your
response is to be in the form of a memorandum instructions which are provided
below.
Rice E. Roni scribbled a few notes
on a sheet of paper to help you with your research.
- Look at the case of Action for
Children’s Television v. FCC.
- Please review the 1978 decision
of the Supreme Court in Federal Communications Commission v. Pacifica
Foundation - See more at:
First Amendment and Censorship.

Please determine if this is good
law, or not and whether or not it applies to our situation.
- Be sure to analyze our
situation from both a positive and a negative viewpoint so we will know
what our strengths and weaknesses are when we insist that our commercial
be given air time.
