New York Court of Appeals
East Meadow Community Concerts Association v. Board of Education of Union Free School District No. 3, County of Nassau
July 7, 196618 N.Y.2d 129
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the appeal as moot and remanded for further proceedings. It held that the school board's revocation of the permit for Pete Seeger was an unlawful prior restraint on protected speech and that the appeal was not moot because the controversy is likely to recur.
