T H E N IE THE 1 FAMILY^ LAWYER JL Picketing Private Home Henry's plan to open a tav ern in a suburban neighborhood raised the hackles of nearby resi dents. One afternoon, several men showed up at his house with pro test signs and began to picket Equally incensed, Henry went to court for an injunction against this “ intrusion into my private life ." At the hearing, the picket- ers insisted they were mainly ex ercising their right of free speech. But the court sided with Henry and issued an injunction “ The home is a retreat from outside affairs." said the judge. “ When the right of free speech is weighed against the right to privacy, the balance favors the privacy of the home.” T H I U I I M i U I T ’S < ’O M I ’ I .

D O N ’T YO U '6 9 CHRYSLER.......................... «249$ Courts generally have con curred in placing a high value on the home as a privileged sanc tuary from strife. Nevertheless, residential picket ing has sometimes been allowed under special circumstances — such as ihe fact that the occupant of the house is a public official. Thus, the picketing of a gov ernor's home by a civil rights group was upheld in court. The judge said Ihe picketers “ had a legitimate right, protected by the Constitution, to appeal to those in authority for redress ” And the picketing of a land lord's home by disgruntled ten ants was sustained on the ground that he had no other known head quarters where they could vent their feelings. Of course, even if picketing it self is considered lawful, it may still be condemned because of the manner in which it is done. In another case, the home of a hospital executive was subjected to mass picketing by boister ous marchers. Furthermore, they flaunted signs that were plainly libellous This time, a court held the picketing unlawful “ Conducted at a considerable distance from the hospital," said the judge, “ in a residential area, it was apparently aimed to cause humiliation and mortification to fthe victim) and his family. It represents a form of direct and unmitigated coercion, a foul blow.” A public s e r v ic e f e a t u r e o f t h e A m e r ic a n B a r A a a o r ia llo n a n d t h e O r e g o n S ta le B a r A aa o e ia - a t io n .

Items Daily! ô The danger of encountering employment b a rrie rs is not lim iteJ to those who have been convicted. In most ju ris tlc - tions job application forms seek information about a r rests, even though followed by no conviction, and in many areas such arrests are grounds for not hiring. The study urges federal legisla tion to prohibit all public or private employers from ask ing about a rrest records on job application forms, and to prevent the general disclosure by law enforcement agencies of information regarding a r rest re cordsw hlcharenotfol- iowed by convictions.
