The Glendale City Council voted on Sept. 9 to repeal three panhandling bans, in direct response to a lawsuit brought by ASU Law’s First Amendment Clinic.
The case, filed July 30 on behalf of three Glendale residents, argued that the city’s ordinances violated the First Amendment right to engage in protected speech. Plaintiffs also sought a preliminary injunction to stop Glendale from enforcing laws that prohibited requests for money, donations or other items of value.
ASU Law students played a critical role in the case, contributing to every stage of the litigation. See ASU Law News for more details.
