At Grable PLLC, we represented individuals whose First Amendment rights were violated by a city ordinance restricting peaceful expression. Through federal litigation, we obtained a permanent injunction barring enforcement of the ordinance — a decisive win for constitutional protections in public spaces.
The Legal Challenge
Fighting Unlawful Restrictions on Constitutionally Protected Speech
The City of Corrigan attempted to enforce a municipal ordinance that severely limited public expression. We filed a federal lawsuit challenging the ordinance as unconstitutional under the First Amendment. After thorough legal briefing and oral argument, the court granted a permanent injunction, effectively prohibiting the city from enforcing the ordinance.
This case reinforces the vital role of civil rights litigation in holding local governments accountable when they infringe on protected freedoms.
