Constitutional Law Keyed to Choper
Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner
Citation:
33 L. Ed. 2d 131 (1972)Facts
Lloyd Center was a large, privately owned shopping mall in Portland, Oregon, covering approximately 50 acres with numerous stores, parking areas, walkways, and a central mall building. The center was open to the general public, with no direct charge for entry, but it maintained a strict policy against handbilling. On November 14, 1968, the respondents entered the mall and distributed handbills protesting the Vietnam War to shoppers. Security guards informed them that they were trespassing and would be arrested unless they stopped. The respondents left and subsequently filed suit in federal court, claiming their First Amendment rights had been violated. The handbills were not related to any activity within the center, and alternative public areas for distribution existed nearby.
