“Guideline 3 as applied to [attorney] Dwyer’s accurate quotes from judicial opinions thus violates his First Amendment right to advertise his commercial services.” So holds the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in an important First Amendment attorney advertising decision issued today.

The Third Circuit’s opinion begins:

Attorney Andrew Dwyer, lauded by New Jersey judges in separate judicial opinions, published on his law firm’s website those complimentary remarks. One of the judges objected to this, and ultimately the New Jersey Supreme Court adopted an attorney conduct guideline that bans advertising with quotations from judicial opinions unless the opinions appear in full. Is the guideline an unconstitutional infringement on speech as applied to the advertisements of Mr. Dwyer and his firm? We believe it is and thus reverse the contrary decision of the District Court.

Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro wrote the ruling on behalf of a unanimous three-judge panel.
