About Michael Troy
Expertise
I will answer general questions regarding freedom of speech, petition, or religion. I specialize in cases involving public employment or education, as well as issues related to campaign finance. But I can`t give specific legal advice involving specific cases you might have.
Experience
As an attorney for the Center for Individual Rights, I worked on a number of free speech cases, including Rosenberger v. Univ. of Virginia, in which the Supreme Court upheld my clients' right to run a student newspaper without discrimination because of its religious conent. I also worked on White v. Julian, which protected the right of people to protest against a homeless shelter in their neighborhood.
I also worked for the Federal Election Commission on several cases regarding the right to participate in the election process.

Expert: Michael Troy

Subject: Videotaping at School
Question
My son is a Michigan elementary school student. There is a constant issue with bullying and harrassment on the playground. I am determined to find out exactly who is the catalyst. Is it within my rights to videotape the outdoor recess at school? Thank you.
Answer
Hi Wendy,
I suspsect the school would not make those tapes available for privacy reasons. However, if you filed suit against the school the tapes might be accessible through discovery. If you want to pursue this, I would recommend retaining an attorney in your area.
I hope this helps!
- Mike
