Other panelists included Brian Connolly, a planner/attorney in Denver, Colorado, and Randall Morrison, an attorney in San Diego, California. The session focused on the conflicting views of content-neutrality among the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals, with the speakers favoring the more liberal approach taken in the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Ninth Circuits as opposed to the stricter approach in the Eighth and Eleventh Circuits.
