Your right to free speech is a fundamental right that you should never be deprived of by the government or other actors. Protect your rights with assistance from an Illinois civil rights attorney.
The First Amendment affords all of us free speech protections that include the compelled speech doctrine, which extends the reach of free speech laws beyond stopping the government from suppressing what individuals have to say. The compelled speech doctrine, in essence, bars the government from compelling – or requiring – people to say things they don’t want to say, don’t believe in, or don’t agree with. Better understanding this doctrine can help you better protect your rights, and if your civil rights have been trampled, it’s time to consult with an experienced Illinois civil rights attorney.
