"Court Looks At Internet Limits"

"Court Looks At Internet Limits": The Hartford Courant today contains an article that begins, "The dispute over a Burlington, Conn., teenager's Internet journal gave rise on Tuesday to a wide-ranging and contentious federal court hearing about free speech, whether schools can regulate students' language off campus and how the Internet blurs the boundaries of a school campus. Avery Doninger, the 17-year-old high school senior at the center of the case, sat in the front row as a three-judge panel of the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals lobbed questions at the attorneys. Lawyers for both sides described the hearing as uncharacteristically lengthy and suggested that the duration underscored the case's position in new legal territory."

And The Associated Press reports that "Appeals Court Weighs Teen's Web Speech."

The ruling under review, which U.S District Judge Mark R. Kravitz of the District of Connecticut issued on August 31, 2007, can be viewed at this link. This blog's earlier coverage of that ruling can be accessed here.
