Back to EpisodesLegal Roundtable: What to know about the First Amendment at Wash U and other college campus protests
Published 1 year, 10 months ago
Description
Washington University arrested about 100 pro-Palestinian protesters over the weekend. Is there any question as to whether the private university had that right? Does it matter if the people protesting were students or staff? Attorneys Sarah Swatosh, Javad Khazaeli and Liz Lenivy discussed that issue on the Legal Roundtable. Also discussed was a motion to vacate the conviction of Marcellus Williams, whether a juvenile who beat up a fellow minor near Hazelwood East High School should be tried as an adult, and a lawsuit against 3M and Scott Technologies filed by the family of a St. Louis firefighter who died because of what they say was faulty equipment.
