Summary

The Supreme Court upheld Hastings College of the Law's "all‑comers" policy, finding it viewpoint neutral and a permissible condition for recognizing student organizations, and affirmed the denial of registration to the Christian Legal Society. The Court held that the policy does not violate the First Amendment, while a dissent argued it suppresses viewpoint‑based speech.
