Exercise 38

Tanner and others sought to distribute hand bills in the interior mall of the Lloyd Corporation shopping center. The literature concerned an anti-Vietnam War meeting. Lloyd Corporation had a strict rule forbidding handbilling. When security guards terminated distributions within the center, Tanner, et al. claimed a violation of their First Amendment rights. Both the district court and the Court of Appeals found a violation of constitutional rights. The decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Decide. Explain. See Lloyd Corporation v. Tanner, 407 U.S. 551 (1972).
