traditional public forum
Public property that has by long tradition ¡ª as opposed to governmental designation ¡ª been used by the public for assembly and expression, such as a public street, public sidewalk, or public park.? To be constitutional, the government’s content-neutral restrictions of the time, place, or manner of expression must be narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest, and leave open ample alternative channels of communication. Any government regulation of expression that is based on the content of the expression must meet the much higher test of being necessary to serve a compelling state interest.
¡ª Also termed quintessential public forum. [Cases: Constitutional Law 90.1(4). C.J.S. Constitutional Law ¡ì¡ì 556¨C557, 559¨C561, 568, 570¨C572, 580, 608.]
