Free Speech

Paragraph: 22 - This Court's decision in Button makes clear, however, that N87* "[b]road prophylactic rules in the area of free expression are suspect," and that N88* "[p]recision of regulation must be the touchstone in an area so closely touching our most precious freedoms." 371 U.S., at 438, 83 S.Ct., at 340; see Mine Workers v. Illinois Bar Assn., 389 U.S., at 222-223, 88 S.Ct., at 356. Because of the danger of censorship through selective enforcement of broad prohibitions, and N89* "[b]ecause First Amendment freedoms need breathing space to survive, government may regulate in [this] area only with narrow specificity."

Paragraph: 13 - N34* This Court reversed: N35* "We hold that the activities of the NAACP, its affiliates and legal staff shown on this record are modes of expression and association protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments which Virginia may not prohibit, under its power to regulate the legal profession, as improper solicitation of legal business violative of [state law] and the Canons of Professional Ethics." 371 U.S., at 428-429, 83 S.Ct., at 335. The solicitation of prospective litigants, many of whom were not members of the NAACP or the Conference, for the purpose of furthering the civil-rights objectives of the organization and its members was held to come within the right N36* " 'to engage in association for the advancement of beliefs and ideas.' "
