Faculty Blogs: "Blogging While Publicly Employed"

I enjoyed spending the day at the Louisville Law Review Symposium on Free Speech and the Challenge of Advancing Technology.  The speakers were great and raised a range of timely and important topics. 

One presentation would be of particular interest to those who practice labor and employment law.  (And so, of course, was the highlight of the Symposium for me.)  Paul Secunda presented his article Blogging While (Publicly) Employed:  Some First Amendment Implications.  He discussed a case of particular interest to those of us here in Kentucky, Nickolas v. Fletcher, 2007 WL 1035012 (E.D. Ky. 2007), a suit challenging the state of Kentucky's prohibition on state employees accessing blogs from state-owned computers.
