Draft Amicus Brief in Chiles v. Salazar, the Professional Speech / Minor Conversion Therapy Case

I've written an amicus brief on my own behalf in this case (here's the PDF version). I'll be filing it tomorrow, but I thought I'd preview it here, in case there are some corrections or criticisms that I should take into account. Please let me know if you have anything to suggest (though please recall that the brief is aimed at fitting the case within the existing Supreme Court precedents, and not arguing to the Court how existing precedents should be overruled or modified).

Interest of the Amicus Curiae

Eugene Volokh is the Thomas M. Siebel Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is one of the few professors to have written on the speech integral to illegal conduct exception to the First Amendment, on which the decision below relied in part, Pet. App. 49a-50a. In particular, he is the author of The "Speech Integral to Criminal Conduct" Exception, 101 Cornell L. Rev. 981 (2016); Overbroad Injunctions Against Speech (Especially in Libel and Harassment Cases), 44 Harv. J.L. & Pub. Pol'y 147 (2022); One-to-One Speech vs. One-to-Many Speech, Criminal Harassment Laws, and "Cyberstalking," 107 Nw. U. L. Rev. 731 (2013); and over 50 other law review articles on the First Amendment, as well as a First Amendment casebook.
