Cyberlaw clinic students won a ruling from the bench yesterday when Magistrate Judge Brazil of the Federal District Court for Northern California quashed a subpoena for private information about 32 Yahoo! users.
Following oral argument by 2L Tim Pennington, the Court agreed that the subpoena unconstitutionally abridged free speech rights, that subpoena was not narrowly tailored, and that SeeBeyond had not shown a valid defamation claim.
