1.  Under what circumstances,  if any, is a prior restraint on the press's  right to publish justified by reason of a concern for  national security or in order to protect the right to a fair trial?  (It would be best  for  you  to  confine  your argument  to  one  of  these  possible justifications.)  Who  should decide when a prior  restraint  should  be applied on the press?

       2. Is any libel statute incompatible with a justifiable freedom of the press? What should the standard of proof of libel be?

       3.  Under what circumstances,  if any, does the press have a right to  protect the confidentiality of its news sources from scrutiny in the courts?
