Description:
First Amendment and Due Process challenge to New York's rules governing attorney advertising. Public Citizen's complaint contends that the rules allow for arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, prohibit both noncommercial and commercial speech that is protected by the First Amendment, and ultimately harm consumers by denying them access to information about their legal rights and available legal services.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
