Professor Evan Bernick was featured on The Steve Cochran Show, a WLS-AM 890 podcast, on the topic,
Is Parody Protected Speech? Professor Bernick, a Constitutional Law expert, discussed an amicus brief filed arguing for the protected nature of satirical speech following the arrest of an Ohio man for making a parody account of his local police force. On the show, Professor Bernick talked about what the brief means, whether or not the court will hear the case, and the constitutional argument for protecting jokes, even if they are in bad taste.
