Second Circuit Rejects Most Of Attorney Advertising Rules

Second Circuit Rejects Most Of Attorney Advertising Rules

“The speech that Defendants’ content-based restrictions seeks to regulate—that which is irrelevant, unverifiable, and non-informational—is not inherently false, deceptive, or misleading. Defendants’ own press release described its proposed rules as protecting consumers against ‘potentially misleading ads,'” the panel wrote inAlexander v. Cahill, 07-3677-cv, 07-3900- cv.

The Second Circuit decision appears on page 17 of the print edition of today’s Law Journal

The ruling primarily affirms the July 2007 decision by Northern District Judge Frederick J. Scullin.
