Searching by Keyword I want to find an opinion published by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. It involves a public school, a student, social media, the school’s punishment of the student’s off campus speech, and the student’s free speech rights that the school allegedly violated.
What do I do? Decide which database/library/jurisdiction to use. It
is given here. 4th Circuit. Formulate the issue. Whether a public school can
regulate a student’s off campus digital speech without violating the First Amendment?
Develop search terms and a search query: “public school” & regulate & student & “off campus” & speech & “First Amendment.”
