Supreme Court of New Jersey

Charles Kratovil v. City of New Brunswick

June 17, 2025

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that Daniel’s Law, as applied to journalist Charles Kratovil, does not violate the state’s free‑speech and press guarantees because the address is truthful, lawfully obtained, concerns a matter of public importance, serves a state interest of the highest order, and is narrowly tailored. The Court also rejected Kratovil’s proposed amendments to the statute.
