Renee protests in front of a law firm’s office building because she is convinced that one of the firm’s lawyers horribly mistreated her. Renee tells a potential client who is entering the firm, “don’t waste your time,” and she also implores that this person “seek another lawyer because the associate lawyer who represented me was and is a jerk.” The potential client walks in anyway, as do many other customers. The law firm sues Renee and asks the court to grant injunctive relief—that is, to stop Renee from protesting in front of its office building. Is the claim likely to succeed?- ○ No, because the statement does not defame the business or prevent customers from being able to visit the business.- ○ Yes, because there is no absolute right to protest against a privately-owned business.- ○ Yes, because the potential client is unable to secure legal advice due to the protests.- ○ No, because Renee has a First Amendment right to say whatever she wants about the business.- ○ Yes, because Renee’s protest has an economic impact on the business.
