Description

Speech and other forms of expression are vibrant and dynamic in Vermont, thanks in part to technology as well as “edgy” youth culture. Could Burlington Telcom have censored
the Al Jazeera-English channel by deleting it from cable offerings, as some demanded?
*Justin McCabe, attorney with Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC, will present the Al Jazeera-English case.
