Professor David A. Strauss will discuss how commercial speech doctrine has developed through today, and where he believes the doctrine is headed tomorrow. Professor Strauss argued the seminal commercial speech case Bolger v. Youngs Drug Products Corp. before the Supreme Court. The three-factor framework announced Bolger is a primary guide in many commercial speech cases today.

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

This is a mask-optional convening. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring to wear masks to do so.
