First Amendment Clinic and Norins featured on Fox 5 Atlanta/Fox News

Abstract

The First Amendment Clinic and its director, Clinical Assistant Professor Clare R. Norins, were featured on Fox 5 Atlanta/Fox News regarding the recent settlement of Hassan v. City of Atlanta, in which the clinic represented plaintiff Sharif Hassan, a photojournalist arrested while covering summer 2020 protests in Atlanta. The lawsuit asserted that Hassan was arrested in retaliation for exercising his First Amendment right to record. The litigation also challenged the City of Atlanta’s city-wide curfew order that contained no exception for the working press. The news items titled "Atlanta pays settlement to photojournalist arrested during George Floyd protests" and "Atlanta agrees to $105K settlement with photojournalist arrested during George Floyd protests in 2020," respectively, were published 5/9/23.
