Kasky v. Nike (Nike v. Kasky at the U.S. Supreme Court) involved the Nike Corporation's appeal of an April 2002 California Supreme Court ruling. The California court rejected claims by Nike's lawyers that the First Amendment immunized the company from being sued for an allegedly deceptive public relations campaign. On September 12, 2003, the parties announced a settlement that will preclude a trial.

This page presents all sides of this case and the larger issues of corporate or commercial speech. We engaged in the Nike case as a key opportunity to re-examine the judicial creation of constitutional rights for corporations and to raise awareness of the far-reaching negative effects that precedent has for democracy and our lives.
