UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and Catherine Fisk have become the center of a controversy involving protests by students and alumni outside their home. The protests have sparked a debate on the limits of free speech, particularly in private spaces. Chemerinsky has issued a statement emphasizing that his home is not a forum for free speech and warned that disruptive behavior will be reported for student conduct, which could impact the students' future with the Bar. UC Berkeley has issued a statement defending Chemerinsky following the circulation of a viral video related to the protests.
