>> ~ Traditional public forum: A “traditional public forum” is a traditional forum for public discourse, such as a park or sidewalk. Government restrictions on speech are subject to strict scrutiny and must be narrowly drawn to achieve a compelling state interest. ~ Designated public forum: The government creates a “designated public forum” when it intentionally opens a nontraditional forum for public discourse, such as state university meeting rooms open to student organizations, school board meetings open to the public by state statute, advertising space in state-owned subway and commuter rail stations, and public libraries. Restrictions on speech are analyzed with the same strict scrutiny as in a traditional public forum. ~ Limited public forum: The government creates a “limited public forum” when it intentionally opens a nonpublic forum to certain groups or topics, such as public school facilities open to community groups, state university student activities fund, state university facilities open to activities of registered student groups. Restrictions on speech must be viewpoint neutral and reasonable in light of the purpose served by the forum. ~ Nonpublic forum: Government property may be a “nonpublic forum.” Examples of nonpublic forums include airport terminals, military bases and restricted access military stores, and jailhouse grounds. Restrictions on speech must be viewpoint neutral and reasonable in light of the purpose served by the forum, as in a limited public forum. bsalegal.org
