Tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is scheduled to hear oral arguments in DeJohn v. Temple University.

The case involves former Temple graduate student and Pennsylvania National Guard sergeant Christian DeJohn's facial challenge to Temple University's former speech code. A federal district court judge issued a against Temple's former speech code in March 2007, and the Third Circuit will hear Temple's appeal of that ruling tomorrow.

Last September, Â鶹´«Ã½IOS was proud to file an amicus curiae brief with the Third Circuit on behalf of DeJohn, and was joined in doing so by the ACLU of Pennsylvania, the Christian Legal Society, Collegefreedom.org, Feminists for Free Expression, the Individual Rights Foundation, Â鶹´«Ã½IOS for Academic Freedom, and the Student Press Law Center. The coalition was represented in the filing by attorney L. Theodore Hoppe, Jr.

Â鶹´«Ã½IOS supporters may read about the importance of Christian's case in his own words here. Tomorrow's arguments are scheduled for 9:30 AM in the Albert Branson Maris Courtroom on the nineteenth floor of the United States Courthouse located at 601 Market Street in Philadelphia's Center City.
