January 22, 2010 – The 17th Ira C. Rothgerber, Jr. Conference, sponsored by the Keller Center for the Study of the First Amendment, the Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law, and the Denver University Law Review

Time of Day and Place: TBA

The Supreme Court did not recognize government speech as a matter of constitutional law until the 1990s. A series of decisions has since begun to give shape to a government speech doctrine. Both relatively new and decidedly incomplete, a number of important questions about this doctrine remain unresolved, including the distinction between government and private speech, and the nature of government speech during wartime. These, and other issues, are the subjects of the 17th Ira C. Rothgerber Conference "Government Speech in Transition", to be held on January 22, 2010 at the Old Supreme Court Chambers of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver.
