Federal district court judge Matthew W. Brann cited favorably Brechner Eminent Scholar Clay Calvert’s article Defining “Public Concern” After Snyder v. Phelps: A Pliable Standard Mingles with News Media Complicity in Brann’s August 2014 ruling in the First Amendment retaliation case of Tayoun v. City of Pittston, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 111282 (M.D. Pa. Aug. 12, 2014).

Judge Brann called Calvert’s article, which was published in 2012 in the Villanova Sports and Entertainment Law Journal, “a thoughtful analysis of the merits and demerits of the Supreme Court’s formulation” of the concept of “public concern.”
