SUMMARY:Police Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Why Didn’t They Just Shoot The Gun Out of His Hand?

SUMMARY:Signs and Free Speech Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Regulating Signs & Billboards after Austin v. Reagan\nIn 2022\, Austin v. Reagan reaffirmed the ability of your community to regulate on-premises and off-premises signs (billboards)\, and to regulate commercial speech differently from non-commercial speech.  While Austin moderates some of its impact\, the 2015 Reed v. Town of Gilbert content neutrality framework remains largely in place. It constrains how communities deal with temporary signs\, and continues to require a high degree of rigor in drafting. \nThis webinar includes a panel of experts who will describe the latest developments and how Austin and subsequent cases affect best practices for city sign regulations. Communities interested in ensuring that they have constitutionally-compliant sign ordinances will want to attend. \nSpeaker: Susan L. Trevarthen\, Mark White & David Hickey
