Washington, D.C., partner Bruce Sanford has been invited to speak at the Practising Law Institute's "Communications Law in the Digital Age" conference, to be held November 12-13, 2009, in New York City. This one of a kind program, long recognized as the most comprehensive in its field, will encompass the latest issues and case law in media, digital communications, intellectual property and privacy law.

Sanford is among an all-star faculty comprising the country's leading practitioners and in-house First Amendment and media law counsel who will provide the strategic and practical knowledge needed to keep apace in this rapidly developing area. 

Sanford will be a panelist discussing, "Developments in First Amendment Jurisprudence," which will address:

• What is the future of broadcast regulation after the Supreme Court's ruling in the "fleeting expletives" case?
• How did the Supreme Court's decision in the "Hillary movie" case affect the First Amendment limits on campaign finance regulation?
• Will the Court create a new category of unprotected speech involving graphic images of cruelty to animals?
• Does the right of expressive association afford religious student groups an exemption from generally applicable anti-discrimination rules in public schools and colleges?
• How will the Summum case affect the government speech and public forum doctrines?
