Searcy v. The Florida Bar: Victory in challenge to Florida specialization ban.

In Searcy v. The Florida Bar, the Northern District of Florida held that the Florida Bar violated the First Amendment when it prohibited the law firm Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley from advertising its specialization and expertise in mass torts and other areas of law. This is our third First Amendment victory against Florida’s lawyer-advertising rules.
