The Fourth Circuit will hear oral arguments this week at Campbell Law School here in Raleigh.

They’ll hear three cases at the school. Among them, Melanie Lawson v. Union County Clerk, which asks the question: Does a government official’s termination of a deputy court clerk for campaigning for office of clerk violate the First Amendment?

Argument will start at 9:30 A.M on September 17. I will be out of town, unfortunately. But I encourage you to go!
